Lovely and clean, host very friendly and helpful. Only thing I would add is need a few more extra large dinner plates ok if two of you staying but with four of us found it difficult when cooking, proper chopping board and oven gloves but these are minor issues, on site parking is a bonus would highly recommend to anyone to stop and would definitely come back again.
