I feel more up to date photos needed to display its current condition and a feather duster wouldnât go a miss, however very cosy and comfortable and the local cider and biscuits left were very welcoming, thank you. The hosts were very friendly and their private woods are exquisite to walk through and the little upper garden to sit in and hear the birds and see the cows in the surrounding fields. The washing machine and tumble dryer are underneath in the garage for use. I would stay again if I attend another falconry course! Beautiful area, thank you
