A very enjoyable stay at this property. Very clean and comfortable. Hot tub was certainly a plus and seeing the chickens on the farm behind was a big plus.Minor downside, but this wouldn’t stop me booking this property again, is potentially have a second tea towel, some kitchen knives and being told when bin collection day is. Bins and recycling were a little full on our arrival.
