White out
We had a wonderful stay. Woke up on the 1st morning to a snow dump. It snowed all day. Snowman built on front lawn, snowball fights all around and a warm, cosy house to relax in. The house was comfortable and homely. Plenty of wood for the fire and we needed it! Kitchen could do with a few more bits … more pots, a colander etc otherwise good. It was all we needed and we would stay again.

Peaceful
Our stay at this property was nothing short of perfect. The house felt like a home away from home which is what we needed after a stressful few months. Everything we needed was easy to find and ready. We are already looking forward to saying again.

Cosy
We enjoyed this comfortable home. The upstairs bedrooms were a good large size and the fireplace in the lounge created a warm friendly atmosphere. The front yard and balls (in the garage) were well used with lots of kicking around. Could have done with more empty kitchen shelves as there was by much room for our food.
