The perfect setting for a holiday in a peaceful space. Thoughtfully decorated interior with gorgeous views of surrounding countryside. Ideal for birdwatching, family time and sleep. Great communication with the owners beforehand, who thoughtfully left fresh flowers for us for a really lovely welcome.
