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

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

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
