Well equipped kitchen and lovely big well kept gardens. The back garden secure. Woodland and river walk right from the door. The drive is on a steep slope so alighting from the house side of the vehicle would be better at the top as there is a drop from the drive to the door. We had a query before our arrival and the owner resolved it immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The only thing that we felt could be improved upon was the quality of the towels.
