Lovely layout to property. But the long lane to access it is full of pot holes and quite unpleasant to drive. We enjoyed the log burners, lovely grounds for the dogs and spectacular views but had many issues with equipment etc; lumpy mattresses, curtain pole fell down, blocked kitchen sink, cooker issues. We unfortunately wont be staying here againRead more. Hide

The property is set in a beautiful location, ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility which is presumably the key element in the costly rental.
