This property is amazing. It was spotless and had everything could want for you stay, including bubbles and chocolates in each bedroom, and delicious lemon cake was in the kitchen, which was lovely with a cup of tea. There was milk and bottled water in the fridge. The property is in a lovely little village which also has a lovely pub and castle ruins to go and explore. This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. We will be going back again in the future.
