Such a warm and welcoming place which we settled into very quickly. Lovely and clean and facilities were good ! Only things we picked up on was the kettle is faulty, lack of hot water and the single sofa could do with a steam clean but apart from that we had a lovely stay and are already looking to book for summer time next year. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

The location was quite remote but beautiful and peaceful. The owners who lived next door could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We would unreservedly recommend this property.
