Good location, peaceful surroundings. Hot tub great, loved the chickens running about. Expensive compared to similar holiday cottages we’ve used . Some areas could have been cleaner eg kitchen cupboards, wardrobes.

Free electric car charging. All on one level. Garden backs onto green hillside topped with woods from which red deer come at dusk and early morning to graze. We didn’t try out the hot tub on the patio.
