What guests are saying
A really spacious property well presented, really peaceful village.
The only thing I could see that might present a problem for big group of people is the one toilet,we were a party of 3 so it was no problem for us, The toilet being separate from the bathroom does help, thoroughly enjoyed our stay a real home from home
Good value for the price.
Great location for getting about. Accessed down narrow lanes that I found hard to drive through in the dark but I guess that’s standard for remote houses in the countryside. Nice big, comfy lounge with large smart TV. Very 1980s in style and decor. 2 upstairs bedrooms but no upstairs bathroom or toilet. Huge downstairs bedroom which had shower and washbasin but no toilet. Other toilet off kitchen had no washbasin. All a bit odd! Property was clean overall. Outside windows had been poorly cleaned so left very streaky which spoiled the outlook. Rear garden was in need of TLC.
We had a very good stay at the property.
Kitchen is very well equipped - could have cooked a Christmas dinner if I wanted to! Lounge is lovely, so light and comfortable. Very good shower which always makes for a good stay. Our dog enjoyed the garden and we felt safe in the knowledge that he couldn’t escape.
Good to know
