We were a family group 10 over 3 generations, ranging in age from 6 to mid 70’s. The accommodation was perfect for us with enough bedrooms and bathrooms plus an extra downstairs WC. Very well equipped and comfortable and set in beautiful countryside. We found the hosts very helpful and they had left us a generous amount of goodies. We would all definitely recommend a stay here.

Lovely house in a lovely peacful location. Was very well stocked, could have done with a few more teaspoons but everything was very clean and tidy. The bedrooms were hot as the windows had to have safety bars on them. Also think the layout needs to be noted in the description, one if the bedrooms that had a king and 2 singles (younger children shared with me) but was quite far from the other bedrooms and made me feel my other children were very far away in a seperate upstairs through the kitchen. But other than that it was a great stay and would return

Only thing that would have made it easier for us would have been separate bedrooms for children who don’t sleep well. We had a lovely stay with three generations from 3 to 77. Would happily visit again.
