Leonie
Really lovely property in a quiet location. We very much enjoyed seeing the horses, rabbits and various wildlife outside. Property is described as wheelchair accessible, which is partially accurate. The main area is excellent, the bedroom is tricky to manoeuvre in but OK, and the bathrooms aren't accessible as a wheelchair doesn't really fit/there's tiny transfer room. For ambulatory users or those with some mobility, this place is fantastic! It is so calming and we can highly recommend it! Only other issue we had is, in the dark the turning and signage for the property is hard to see, so a light would be helpful.
