Very well appointed propert and very comfortable. If you’ve forgotten something, it’ll be there. Welcome pack was excellent. Best we’ve seen. Didn’t get to use the sauna unfortunately, as too busy. Area was nice and quiet with a lot of local history including the Romans. If you want a get away from it all and enjoy walks and countryside, this is the place
