We received a nice warm welcome from the owners. We marked it down a little due to the lack of space in the shower/toilet room and the number of times we forgot about the sloping ceiling upstairs.

It fulfilled our practical requirements and provided a very pleasant change of scene complete with hollyhocks and a muntjac!

Plenty of parking space. Nice and clean inside property, comfortable bed. We went in a hot week in July and upstairs where the sleeping area/lounge is it was extremely warm, although there are fans provided. This isnât really the ownerâs fault and we would stay here again but probably when itâs not so hot. Bathroom is very small but was ok for us.
