Good location in a quiet village. Just a couple of things No washing machine just took it for granted there would be one. Lost a bottle of shampoo in ensuite shower mistakenly rested it at top of shower and it fell behind on further inspection it seems other people have lost items too. Other than this we had a good stay and enjoyed the lovely cider and crisps the owners left for us. Thank you

It is really spacious, with a great layout. The garden is stunning and really made a difference to us with two energetic children - we also enjoyed a couple of meals outside on warmer evenings. Most things we needed were provided, the one thing we missed was a proper hairdryer - we didn't really fancy using the hotbrush that had been used by multiple other guests. We were also bothered by the smell of damp that was present throughout our stay despite our attempts to keep windows open etc while we were in. But overall we had a great stay and it was a lovely base from which to explore the local area.

The kitchen diner was particularly nice, with more than adequate utensils, crockery and cutlery. A minor criticism was the comfort provided by the bed mattresses and the syncronising of the heating system to the prevailing temperature and time of day. To be fair, it was a particularly cool week for June, which also prevented us from sitting out in the lovely garden.
