It was really clean and comfortable and there was nothing needed to improve on. The owner has thought of everything. We experienced every season during our stay and were warm and cosy throughout. There are some beautiful walks nearby which enhanced our visit. The owner was so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble to ensure we had a brilliant time and we certainly did. We are so glad to have discovered this lovely gem.
