All the rooms are cosy but functional. The large windows, great views, hot tub and fireplace made our stay very special and we will definitely be back. Any questions about the house were answered quickly.

The infusion of natural light is very clever and the one floor layout makes for easy living and movement around the property. The guidance manual is also easy to understand and use. One of the best lets we have used. The only negative is the poor listings accuracy by the agents viz, the nearest shop/pubs are 6.4 miles away not as listed. Fuel and power are listed as free but manual says only starter wood qualifies. This needs tightening up i.e. by using wood is this classified as theft !!!!!!!!. Apart from this a very desirable and attractive property
