Pleasant and easy stay. Clear instructions to premises, but quite hard to find and a bit of a rickety driveway. Host met us on arrival to go through things which was helpful. Helpful to have washing machine, dishwasher and washing up necesities there. Always frustrating (and added expense) when they're not. Fresh duck eggs on arrival much appreciated!
