This is our second time to this beautiful house we love it and will probably come again as it is so quiet lovely large bedrooms - horses in the field behind and also resident peacock there is nothing at all to complain about just a couple of observations:-New pillows needed Bathroom floors very very slippy - don’t know what product was used but quite dangerous . I would rather let people know these issues but it is perfect apart from these two issues
