It was clean, comfortable and we'll equipped. It was very peaceful and the views were glorious. It was very dog friendly, with a we'll fenced garden and a lovely stroll up the lane before dinner. There was also a good, tarmacced parking area.

Smaller bedroom lacks storage but can share it in the larger bedroom so no big drama. Comfy beds, shower and bath good too. Good tarmac parking space and sensible parking from neighbouring cottages. Heating was great. Nice to see the farm activities and livestock. Really enjoyed our stay here.
