It has a home-from-home feeling, was warm and cosy and the location is perfect, surrounded by peaceful countryside. Our hosts, Teresa and Lennie were very warm and welcoming, we couldn't have hoped for anything better ... and the wine, biscuits and milk on arrival were very welcome. Can't wait to return

There is everything you would need in the property and the large garden was a bonus, especially in the evenings for watching lovely sunsets. We had plenty of room with 2 adults and two teenagers. Owners really friendly and on hand if needed.
