This is an amazing property in a stunning location let down by worn fixtures and fittings, old bedding, frayed towels, ancient kitchen utensils and dusty hanging cobwebs

It would be even better in the summer when you can sit outside and enjoy the sound of the water the garden. Thank you to the owners for a warm welcome.

It was brilliant for a dog as all the floors were wooden and having a stable door meant we could keep the upper half open without worrying about the dog getting out . I loved the sound of running water outside my bedroom. The chickens and cats (especially Badger the cat) were friendly and it was great to be able to buy some eggs. Gary and Jackie were helpful and happy to talk about the farm. Lovely to walk around.
