Very well equipped. My boys enjoyed the coffee pods. Comfortable beds and we all slept very well. Our dog loved having his own field to run around in and the views from the top were lovely. Easy access to the village along the edge of the river. Very grateful to the owners for assisting with washing as the machine wasnât working. A lovely part of the world to visit.
