Old and quirky. 3 fireplaces and yes we had all three going at one time just because I have never had a home that could do that.
It’s old and quirky. A real Time Machine with a modern kitchen.

So much to love! The size, the views to the garden/trees, ease of check in, spa (hot and ready) generosity of the host (fresh bread, eggs, butter, jam, milk), heaters turned on so it was warm on arrival, the interesting history, fireplace with plenty of wood, all the kitchen accoutrements we needed and the general comfort of the home — like you were staying at your best friend’s country home.
Hard to name anything since it’s such a great place! Minor point — access to the front door was a bit muddy (big rainstorm the day before).

It’s location a short walk to town centre
It was a huge rambling farmhouse too big and very old fashioned for 2 people - no view
