The property was lovely and well provisioned. The wine chocolates and milk on arrival was a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay and the view from the balcony made it a lovely place to unwind in the evening.

Lovely relaxing quiet stay, everything you need is provided. Clean, comfortable accommodation and hot tub is lovely. Everything was perfect with our stay with exception to our confirmed/organised late check out as this was changed/cancelled by the owner by text at 8.45pm on our final night, other then that everything else was spot on!

Excellent property. Comfortable, spacious and clean. It has lovely views across the countryside and the outside area is a great place to sit on a warm evening. With plenty of things to see and do, it makes an ideal base. Nick went the extra mile to accommodate me and my partner, who has limited mobility.
