We had a fantastic New year in this well equipped and exceptionally comfy, cozy and clean property. We were greeted with mince pies on the side and milk in the fridge along with Tea, coffee, sugar and everything needed to to help us get settled in. Carol has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making her guests feel welcome and has got it spot on. The surrounding area is nice and quiet and picturesque, The beds were comfortable with good quality bedding, feather quilts and ultra fluffy blankets to snuggle up under if needed although the property has central heating throughout and was not in the least bit cold. There is NO WiFi at the property but a strong 4g signal (Vodafone) and some 5g with EE So we were able to use our games console by hotsppttimg from our mobile phones.Would highly recommend this property and will be looking at returning in the future.Thanks for an amazing week away 5*

A wonderful, wonderful place. A little slice of heaven. So peaceful - you feel you are away from everything but are in easy reach of some many shops and attractions. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Only two small details would change - would have liked a dryer as this was the second week of our travels and the only place to wash clothes and just need a couple more floor/table lamps in the living room to be able to read more. As you can see though if that’s all that could be added then it’s close to perfect 😊
