We enjoyed our stay very spacious, lovely location , would have liked better lighting in the living room, perhaps a standard lamp, the downstairs bedroom had no chest of drawers, where one of the the bedrooms had three?also couldn’t find a hairdryer and cleaning cloths to wipe down the kitchen worktops not a lot of kitchen roll.

The house and location is amazing. There is a wealth of beautiful walks to and places to visit with 30 minutes drive. The only thing I would say is when it says “no towels” it really does mean no towels, not even hand towels in the downstairs toilet which was disappointing. We took a dog, but personally, it’s not really dog friendly. The walled garden is big but the wall can easily be jumped by any size of dog so we had to take a training lead and go out with the dog as it’s a working farm with livestock. None of that is a negative, the place was awesome and very homely.
