Very well equipped property with everything you would need for a self catering break. On a farm with access to meet the cows being milked. Welcome pack with tea coffee milk and delicious home made cream tea . The owners are on hand to address any issues and very friendly. We did feel it would benefit from a deep clean in some areas.
