Thank you for the very generous welcome pack. Property was very clean and comfortable with absolutely everything needed for a quiet, family, self catering holiday. The area surrounding the property was beautiful and we saw and heard a variety of wildlife.

The size of the house and each room is large so you don't feel cramped and the garden is lovely and safe for dogs and children. Very peaceful location but not 'in the middle of nowhere '.
