Victoria
Very cosy, comfortable and clean and with everything youâd need. The log fire and underfloor heating made it feel luxurious. We especially appreciated the treats and essentials left for in the kitchen - thank you so much. The living space was larger than it appears on the photos. Would definitely recommend.

Set in farmland with easy access to country walks from the front door. The property was very warm and we had no need to light the wood burner! The owner's had left us everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Would highly recommend this property.
