Fantastic, warm, welcoming, cosy farmhouse with lots of space for our mixed group of family and friends. Had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, plenty of logs for the fire, even a local cat who we were advised we could allow in the house only if we wanted to! Lots to see and do in the area. Would definitely visit again.

A beautiful home in a picturesque location. Could use a clean with cobwebs and dirty windows in some places. The outdoor decking area needs serious attention. The owner was friendly.
