Beautiful countryside, our hosts were brilliant. Loved the ducks and the ducklings. Although our dogs didnât, but the ducks wasnât bothered at all. Thank you for a lovely week, Malcolm and Zoe.

When fully occupied, we think that just the one bathroom could be an issue. Also, the heating was needed in the evenings, but, in spite of adjustment by the owner, it didn't come on in the evenings but did in the mornings. However, we would certainly stay again if the opportunity arose.
