But the property was beautiful in every other respect. We enjoyed having 1 settee each and were very comfortable, watching the massive TV in the lounge.The kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The garden area was ideal for our dog. The pub across the road served a lovely Sunday lunch - but booking is highly recommended - as it seems very popular.

Everything perfect. Lovely garden for the dog except smaller dogs donât like gravel, so a few stepping stones to the large lawn would be good. One thing is that the bathroom window in the large bedroom has no blind or curtain so we had to put a piece of cardboard in the window. Would benefit from more mugs and teaspoons and some glass tumblers. Just minor things though. Would definitely recommend this lovely house and hope to return.

The accommodation was excellent with large spacious rooms which were comfortably furnished. The kitchen was clean and very well equipped. The games room provided lots of reading and games, and we enjoyed completing the puzzle! The location was ideal, close to lots of walking routes and with plenty of parking. We loved the gate through to The White Horse Inn where we managed to book several evening meals. Note, you do need to book as they get very busy even in April! A great week away, thank you!
