Relaxed location
Gorgeous place to stay and very peaceful however despite the description saying breakfast included in price, there was nothing but UHT milk and packets of coffee/tea. No coffee maker as described and no cloth to wipe the benches or even tissues. No soap to wash and it was freezing upon arrival, the heater on would’ve been welcoming. Just a few things tainted our stay that can easily be rectified, however the location, property and home were lovely.

Short getaway
The house was very clean and in a beautiful spot I just think you might need to update some photos as I was really looking forward to the swing in the bedroom only to realise it’s not there and you might need to look at your spa as it’s not working properly But overall it was a lovely little heat away Thank you
