Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding. Nice sitting room TV area. Very friendly and helpful owners more or less next door. Decent small Coop supermarket in Downton 5 mins down the hill by car. Great wood-fired pizza van at local shops every Tuesday evening - excellent pizza. Great facilities if you have an EV. No hesitation in recommending,

The showers were amazing, always plenty of hot water. Very homely and deceptively spacious, a good space for an extended family holiday,
