Kitchen was very well equipped and charming. Comfy beds and lounge furniture, plenty of outdoor seating too to enjoy the view which was spectacular!! We loved watching the farm sheep and horses in the field and saw the resident squirrel, lots of different birds including a buzzard! Very relaxing stay indeed - thank you!
