"Jo was excellent at communicating and was very accommodating. Despite being close to the main house we felt very secluded and private, the patio and garden are idyllic"

Host Jo was great. Nothing was too much trouble and she even stocked the room with fresh bread, milk, coffee etc to get us started for our ten night stay. The only reason I haven’t scored 5 stars is I think for longer stays it needs a washing machine and with some warmer UK weather a split system air con would be necessary. Overall great stay thoroughly enjoyed the absolute tranquility

This property was a lovely little place to stay for me and my partner. The extra little touches were lovely, it was peaceful and the location was perfect for us. Would recommend to anyone just looking to get a way for a few days, to relax and have some peace and quiet.
