Love the property, spacious and clean and very warm especially in the build up to winter. Great to see hairdryers in every bedroom as there werenât any last time. Quiet and tranquil, lovely to see the rabbits running across the lawn first thing in the morning and last thing at night. We will be back for a third visit

The location is perfect for exploring the area. Plenty of places to walk the dog. The White Horse Inn is very friendly and the food is good value.
