The house itself was cozy, great atmosphere and hot tub was a lovely touch for extra luxury. There was a funky smell in the bathroom that we couldn’t quite pin point, and no cleaning equipment was left to try get rid of said smell. Hand wash also was near empty when we arrived but there was a spare under the kitchen sink. The guide at the place may need updating at the farm shop on the same road is now closed. Location was easy to find on apple maps and what 3 words, google takes you to the wrong place as proven by 2 takeaway delivery drivers on our stay. But all that being said, we loved being out in the middle of nowhere, in a cozy little place that felt like a home away from home. Not much to do close by but if you don’t mind a quick drive then you’ll have lots to do!
