Really lovely place and equipped with everything that you need for a relaxing time.Quiet location, yet situated only a few minutes away from main roads and motorway network.We have stayed twice now and highly recommend it.Nothing is an issue and the owners are close by if needed.

Fabulous property. Spotlessly clean and really well equipped. Four good sized bedrooms and large main lounge/diner/kitchen with plenty of seating for all. The garden space and e v charging point were added bonuses. Ideal for family get together.
