The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We were particularly pleased that all the bedrooms were nice doubles with an en suite. The owners are wonderful and couldnt do enough to ensure you have a nice stay. They very kindly left us a home made cake, bottle of fizz and crisps which was much appreciated.
