My husband and me had a priceless time with out twin boys.We relaxed completely and we enjoyed the river, the birds,the ducks, the squirrels, the chickens and the sheep that were coming around. Our place was really clean and welcoming.It was so comfortable and relaxing that it went beyond our expectations. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning with amazing walks in the woods and vast opportunities to enjoy and appreciate nature. We will definitely come back again.

When we arrived there was an unpleasant smell in the bedroom which came and went them came back again every day. In the folder the gas certificates was 3yrs out of date,pat.testing was out of date, and the fuse board had no information on it about the the last time it was tested. The decking had seen better days. The wooden floors could do with attention as they are lifting in places
