It was well situated with a lovely large drive for our two cars. There was a large garden with open outlooks, which, although the weather was very wet, was enjoyable to look out on in cosy and warm surroundings. The bedrooms were spacious and we appreciated the mobile plug ports incorporated in the bedside lamps. The only criticism I could make is that the pillows could be updated, but other than that it was an idyllic stay. Thankyou to the owners for thinking of visitors comforts in every way.
