Ideal property to relax and 'get away from it all' due to its location. The only thing missing was a hot tub! Sadly the weather was against us during our stay which resulted in huge puddles at the front of the property but they soon subsided. Good eating establishments near by. We really enjoyed our stay after attending a wedding in the area and would like to return to explore some of the walks when the weather is better.

On resolving this we were greeted by the owners used shoes scattered all in the entrance porch and dust in numerous places around the property. The building itself is of a good size and the kitchen very well equipped. No welcome pack and the garden un-kept so we didn't use it much. Overall, the property was satisfactory but lacked attention to detail, homely touches and communication.
