Spotlessly clean, excellent furnishings and linen, very well equipped and a view to die for. Warm, light and welcoming and well laid out. A fantastic away from it all location but within very easy reach of wonderful Ludlow. No hesitation in recommending. The master bedroom ensuite is jaw dropping although a little too revealing to live with in my view but great for a week.
