Fabulous large house, perfect for family gatherings. Plenty of parking for cars and the old stables are ideal for storing bicycles if you have them with you. The house was very clean and well equipped. With the good weather, we enjoyed the big back garden for assorted games and football. The patio makes a great place for food & drinks (for reference the BBQ is charcoal and you need to bring your own fuel). The Marton Arms mentioned in the information was excellent and not far away if you don't want to cook!

Lovely charming building with loads of character based in a very quiet little hamlet. Spacious and had everything we needed including a continuous supply of logs for the two log burners which made things very cosy. We had a great time with friends taking in some stunning local walks. Would definitely visit again.
