The ground floor accommodation is on the small side but had everything needed for 2 people with 2 small dogs! The first floor, bedroom & bathroom are really spacious & comfortable. The property is in a most beautiful setting with fabulous walks from the door and within easy driving distance of plenty of fantastic places of interest to visit. We were made to feel very welcome and would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
