Josephine
Very comfortable with lovely views. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy bed and a great shower. Welcome pack was much appreciated
Kathryn
Very clean and well maintained. The only issue we had was arriving in the rain and finding the keysafe, as the wall listed on the instructions was obscured by a bush. After wandering around looking at every wall, we finally saw it. It required crawling on hands and knees, parting foliage and using a phone torch to get the key. The owners might want you rethink that one as we did not use the key safe during the week due to accessibility, but had to carry the key.
Janet
Stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thankyou for the generous welcome gifts. The kitchen is well stocked with essential dry goods making food and drink preparations easy. Lots of interesting places to see and good walking areas nearby.
