Great place to stay with all the family. Really lovely setting and fitted out to a high standard. Two suggestions to improve it would be another sofa (currently not enough comfy seating for 8 adults) and a spare kitchen cupboard to keep food in (all the cupboards had stuff in and there were lots of flies, normal for the countryside, and being able to put the food supplies away in a cupboard would have been helpful). But we had a great time and plenty of space for all of us!
