Short mid week break
Booked the property as it looked lovely and we were not let down. The images don't do it justice! It was spotless and we had all we needed. We loved the enclosed garden so our young cocker could play safely. There is a very well equipped kitchen with all you need. We ate in all the time when we were there and the wood burner was welcome with the freezing temperatures. We are already planning our next visit. The owners were brilliant and the welcome card and biscuits were welcome!
