Absolutely beautiful, perfect place to stay!Everything you could possibly want in a beautifully positioned two bedroom two bathroom home. The sheets and the towels smelt of freshwashing throughout our day! Lovely relaxed welcome by owner Caroline. Lots of lovely animals surrounding a home, including Maddie the horse 😊I am very fussy and I could not possibly think of one thing that could improve the accommodation and position. Thank you very much.
