The house had all we needed to relax in the peaceful surroundings. The extra touches of dog treats, wine and homemade cake were very much appreciated. Would recommend a stay here

Built many years ago but maintained to a very high standard.We all went straight to sleep in comfort.Keep following your sat navigation and you'll get there although you might feel lost in the winding country roads.

The welcome pack was thoughtful and we really enjoyed the homemade cake. The property is a little tired, just tiny things like scratched floor, rusty radiator, dishwasher not working. It was expensive for 5 nights so I would have expected a little more, but itâs a beautiful location and we had a nice time. I also think the front door should be knocked by anyone checking the hot tub rather than just coming through the back fence, whether or not they shout hello first. I didnât hear them so was surprised to find 3 people there when I came downstairs on Monday afternoon.
