Beautiful Rural Relaxing Everything you need for a short stay. Stairs quite steep for people with disabilities, older people, small children. We'd definitely stay again, if the cleaning crew had more training, nothing "major" that would put us off, simple things like pulling out the sofas & TV unit, window cleaning, that kind of thing.

Well equipped kitchen and comfortable sofas in this lovely farmhouse. It can be noisy in the mornings as bedrooms are downstairs and the living room is above them.
