Great space, good parking. One of its best features is its peace and quiet, no traffic noise, just birdsong, and silence at night. Ample supply of towels and bedding. House is homely, warm and comfortable. Brilliant shower, (no bath). House has good WiFi and there is a good 5G signal. If you like dark skies, this is an excellent place to go, with low light pollution.

It's a shame there is nothing in the garden to attract bees, butterflies or birds just very low cut grass. Loads of towels and hot water. Be careful of the hot taps if you have the immersion on as the water is absolutely boiling hot. TV needs to be updated but we didn't go to watch TV. It was a bit strange as the freezer was full of food and the fridge had half used jars. There was also clothes in one of the wardrobes. There are some beautiful walks around the lakes, canals and small country lanes nearby. Shops, pubs and restaurants are all with 10 to 20 minutes drive.
