Owners very friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the extra touches, milk in fridge (even messaged to ask which milk we preferred) etc. The owners have considered everything you could need and provided it, information on local amenities, walking routes and maps, cycling routes, places of interest. The property is well situated not far from main road, yet in quiet rural setting.
