Loved everything about it.. could not fault anything. We loved it so much, we are planning a return visit.
Richard
Lovely barn type property on 2 levels kept in immaculate condition. Friendly and helpful owners nearby to guide and attend to any small queries, plus to give advice on local eateries, especially as we had a dog with us. Rural location in countryside but 10 minutes to nearest town. All in all a very relaxing holiday.
Frances
Lovely to have animals around us. Highly recommend.
