We had a great time in this lovely house. It had everything that we needed. The views from the upstairs lounge were fantastic. Very warm and cosy house which is very much appreciated after a walk on a winters day. Parking is easy as there’s a private car park outside the property and you can utilise the lane in front of the house when loading and unloading your car. However if the car park was full and you had to park on the public road near the property this could prove problematic as the road is very narrow. Overall we had a great stay at this lovely house
