Amazing accommodation with a very well equipped kitchen. Hot tub was lovely but need to light early. Views were amazing and cows in the field was lovely, even saw a couple of hares and frogs
A well tended property with excellent facilities and comfort. The owners should and do deserve highest merit for their hard work. Thank you.

Idyllic place to stay
From the moment you walk in the door this place blows you away, from the amazing views to the very generous welcome pack of local groceries. We had a perfect Easter weekend, walked to the Fox Inn pub on the Saturday across fields, all really lovely.
Barely any noise from the farm, we had a very peaceful time and will be back! Thank you so much!
