Outside, five stone steps lead to a lawned area with garden furniture, ideal for relaxing with a good book whilst listening to the birdsong and local wildlife.

The owner is a welcoming host and her information pack is very useful. A few bumps upstairs until used to low eaves apart it proved to be a restful week. Thoroughly enjoyable break and strongly recommended.
