Itâs a spotlessly clean, comfortable little bungalow. Set in wonderful countryside it was very peaceful and quiet, just what we wanted. It was lovely to see Herbie the horse being looked after in the stables close by and frolicking in the paddock. The visits from little Puzzle the dog each day were a joy. Many thanks to owners Karen and Campbell for their hospitality. They are lovely people and very informative.
