We spent a great week at this property & enjoyed some beautiful walks into the surrounding countryside. It's an easy walk into town, not quite so easy back! Plenty of good cafes and pubs within walking distance. The house is spacious, clean and comfortable. Cathy is a very thoughtful and generous host. We'd definitely book again.

Very clean and pleasant, highly recommend

The property is very well equipped and looked after. It was very clean and everything had been thought of and provided. There was food and drink to welcome us which was very generous and much appreciated. We hope to stay again in the future. There is an enclosed rear and front to the property which was good for our dog. There is quite a high drop in the rear garden so I kept our dog on his lead as a precaution. All in all, highly recommended. Many thanks
