We really enjoyed our stay at the property. We stayed in the larger house (there is another smaller property on the same plot) which was great. Lovely fire to warm us up after walks in the area, comfy beds. Friendly pub and restaurant a short walk into the little village. A small shop which has most day-to-day items. Perfect for our winter week away... I am sure it will be lovely for a summer break too!
