Great farmhouse for a large family or group with wonderful walks. Very peaceful and chilled out. What’s not to love.

The house was great and no major complaints. Everyone enjoyed the days that we stayed there. My only concern was that the bed that we used was too bouncy and I would have liked a much firmer mattress...but that is a personal preference.

Comfort & equipment - there were two ovens in the property and only half of one of them worked, which is inconvenient as there were 9 of us to cater for.The lack of local amenities isn't the property owners fault!
