A great place for a celebration with friends and family. Comfortable and cosy, warm as toast, comfy beds and lovely walks from the door so you don't have to drive anywhere unless you want to. Ok, the farmhouse could with some cosmetic tidying and a bit more of a clean but that might be at the expense of its fabulous charm and quirkiness. We all loved our stay and hope to return one day.
