Highly recommend! The only confusing thing was the google maps location from the application, which leads to wrong address.

Narrow roads to the property but you are as likely to meet a clutch of pheasants in the road as a tractor. Accommodation is as described in the adverts so don't expect more than you have read there. We had a quiet pleasant week in Beckside.
