Lovely location, ideal for any birdwatchers.The property was very comfortable, basically equipped for 4. The second bedroom was rather small, not a lot of room for storage.Good pub within walking distance serves good food.We would definitely like to visit again.

What a great place to stay!The rooms were clean and everything was lovely. The only thing I would recommend is better signage to the property - google maps takes you to someone's house nearby who says it happens a lot (she was lovely also though :P)I would stay again **
