It felt very spacious, the kitchen had everything you could need (proper sharp chef's knives! So rare in a holiday let!), the bathroom was enormous, the king size bed was wonderfully firm and very comfortable, we loved the log burner - but the piece de resistance was of course the enormous wall of windows out onto a gorgeous patch of forest garden. We were visited by squirrels, nuthatches, tits and robins, and we saw goldcrests, buzzards, kites and more nearby. Highly recommended for any nature lovers. Steve was a fantastic host, always ready to offer advice on local dog walks etc. We recommend this place without hesitation.
