I brought so much stuff home because everything was provided. We're so used to having to provide our own cooking utensils, kitchen gadget, general cleaning supplies etc, but everything was there. Incredibly friendly owner, too. I'd have no issues recommending this beautiful property to anyone.

Décor and furnishings excellent with well equipped kitchen/dining area. Hot tub and covered outdoor seating area immaculate and well maintained. Many thanks to our host Steve and for the welcome pack of welsh cakes and prosecco. We would happily recommend this venue for a family/friends get together and an ideal base for seeing the surrounding area.

Friendly, helpful owners who live nearby. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly think of. It was clean, spacious and very well designed. The area is quiet and peaceful, but there are shops and pubs a short drive away. We stayed he as a family for a birthday and will definitely be back.
