We would be very happy to rent the property again. One element that could be improved is the water, when used a rather loud noise of what seemed a pump occurred, accepting we were in the country and that the water needed to be pumped. The kitchen and dining area was reminiscent of the farmhouses I grew up in and provided that warm cosy feeling of all those years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you
