Though nothing wrong with it we found the bed uncomfortable. Some small general maintenance required ie.Toilet seat loose, kitchen tap leaking . Service was very good with issue of a broken oven. Over all very good.

A place to wind down, relax and plan daily outings. Good access to the countryside via footpaths - also to the green spaces in the village. One gripe was the downstairs toilet which we did not use due to the system not being positioned properly. Would we stay here again? Yes!

Property clean, but in need of some maintenance inside and out. Noticed that this view is shared with previous occupants.
