Peaceful, spacious and well-equipped

This is a clean, spacious, well-equipped property in a peaceful rural location but still close to everything. It was ideal for the purposes of our family group, which spanned three generations. Our only problem was with the ancient barbecue, which was out of gas and hadn’t been cleaned by the previous user. That aside, we were very happy with the property.

Lovely Location

Had a lovely stay here. Plenty of heating so even in cold weather it was lovely and cosy. The only thing that was ever so slightly frustrating (and is due to the rural location and possibly the previous guests using the allowance, NOT the owners!) is the internet connection which meant we weren't able to do some things from the house. It wasn't a massive issue for us but I mention it only for potential guests who may wish to work. We loved it in every other way and would definitely stay again! Thank you :)

Comfortable place to put your head down after a long day out and about

Our family enjoyed our stay. The water had a funky smell to it. Wasn’t to impress that we had to take our recycling away with us and strip our own beds I thought that would come under the cleaning fee. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. Thank you Lynette
