House is very well equipped , cant think of anything else you could need that is not there . Little conservatory ,lovely place for an afternoon cup of tea and a snooze . Plenty of room in the house for four , handy downstairs loo . A wonderful place to get away for peace and quiet . Would say to go careful driving out from drive onto the road , traffic can be difficult to see coming from the left . Overall would definitely recommend staying here , beautiful countryside and lots of nearby national trust places to visit .
