    Couldn't fault it, other than perhaps adding a microwave would be very helpful. Peaceful and beautiful countryside views.

  • Shelley

    So peaceful and quiet. Facilities are top notch. Views were wonderful. Great location for exploring the area. The hamper and milk were a treat. Thank you

  • Polly

    Stylishly designed and lovely dog walking country. Because I am very old fashioned I found the high tec appliances etc a bit overwhelming. Never did discover how to set the clock on the oven. And would have welcomed a dustpan and brush to keep the floors clean rathar than tackle the vacuum cleaner. But these are minor quibbles- overall my stay was very happy. Thank you
