We were visiting friends nearby and our original booking got cancelled so this was a last minute thing. The photos simply don’t do it justice. It is *spotlessly* clean, and... read more the sheets and linens were immaculate and very soft. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept very well indeed. There were lovely extras in the fridge and we sat up in the window seat chatting for ages, with a night cap. Checkout was very easy and there was lots of parking too. Host was very communicative and accommodated our requests. Absolutely lovely, would highly recommend it to anyone!

We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return.Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and experience the simple beauty of the countryside. Our son had the best time he was completely enchanted by the animals, especially the dogs. It was so special to see him so engaged and happy outdoors.
