The upstairs floorboards, stairwell and bed were a bit noisy but that was fine if you timed your visit to the bathroom before going upstairs. The property was very comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed for our long weekend. The small fenced garden was very good for leaving the back door open and keeping the dog safe. The village has a good store with a post office and the prices are very reasonable. There are lots of walking paths and the views were lovely. I will definitely recommend this property to my family and friends.
