    Milk and wine missing-and watch out for macerator noise at night if sleeping in single bedroom-the only things to grumble about (And I always try to find something!)

    Clean,very comfortable, convenient location for town and surrounding areas. Had everything you needed.Host very easy to contact and helpful.Easy parking on street.Comfy beds.

    Great location - easy to walk to the high street/restaurants or to lovely walks in the woods and fields. House is easy to stay in and very comfortable. The host is also very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend.

    A bit weird people on the street can look directly into the living room. Could have been cleaner, lots of spider webs. Toilets were not so nice. Didn’t like the old rugs on the sofa.

    Nice location. Big house. Good kitchen. Overall good but nothing special.

    Loved the location it was central, the property had parking and my dog was welcome, back yard for a BBQ, the log burner was ace. Very comfortable beds, a great stay in a quiet location.

    I recently stayed with my family at this accommodation during our holiday, and it exceeded all our expectations. The cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable. Every corner was spotless, and the attention to detail was evident throughout our stay. Our room was not only clean but also beautifully arranged, providing a cozy and comfortable environment for our family. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring. The surrounding area was equally pristine and peaceful, offering a perfect environment for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch experience.

    Would have been better with an extra toilet to suit the other two rooms, 4 people trying to get ready in a morning when leaving for the day out was a bit of a rush, but didn’t spoil it
