Overall it was a very nice stay for the family and my special birthday celebrations. We were close to the local coaching inn and a cafe and ice cream parlour. We loved the 1980s Trivial Pursuit, but that was probably because we knew a lot of the answers. Didnt have the weather for the barbecue but the enclosed garden was lovely when the sun came Read moreout. Overall a lovely building, just needs a bit of updating and TLC to match the price. The owners were very accommodating with a refund because the Aga was not working because of nesting birds in the chimney. Hide

Had a relaxing stay at the property, value for money compared to others of similar size in the area however the price was reflective in the property itself which needs a bit of maintenance and updating. Cleanliness was acceptable, however because of the age of the property and numerous fittings it was very dusty and some of the furniture was worn.Read more Excellent sleep quality , beds and bedding were very comfortable. Suited our large family with dogs but there is definitely room for improvements . Hide
