The property was perfect for relaxation in the quiet countryside setting with plenty walks near by and short drive from other places to explore. Our hosts were very friendly and the welcome gifts were a nice touch especially the dog treats. It was much better than we had expected and will definitely be back again in the future.

Owners are on site, so if you need anything they are around to ask. Property is set in a quiet area, so lovely and peaceful - beautiful gardens and very friendly dogs (owners!) We have stayed here several times now - it is like a home from home!

It's in a quiet peaceful area with the added bonus of being near to a beautiful farm shop for your fresh produce. On arrival we found a basket of goodies and everything to make a welcome cuppa. There was even chews for our Labrador Bess. We had a relaxing week here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
