Stayed at the Loft for 3 nights, it's a wonderful place.Located on a farm but lovely and peaceful and no funny smells from the farm.Very secluded and very quiet, had the best nights sleep for ages, so that's a pointer to how nice it is.The hosts are wonderful and live next door, so if you need anything they are more than willing to help with whatever is required.The property itself is lovely, comfortable and very clean, with everything you might need for a perfect stay.The only thing you need to be aware of is the road leading up to the property.It is a bit on the rough side but as long as you drive carefully and slowly, I didn't have any problems with it.Would I recommend it for a place to stay?Absolutely unequivocally yes, if you like peace and quiet, it's a brilliant location.
