Lovely accommodation but next to a very very busy and noisy main road, can’t have your bedroom windows open because of it. However, there are fans in the rooms for when the weather is hot. The Farmhouse is semi detached and has 3 dogs which barked every time we were on the lawn or in the hot tub. Hot tub was brilliant. Few issues whilst staying there but hopefully these will be sorted for future bookings.Good farm shop next door with a great selection of everything you need.
