This wonderful space with fabulous high ceilings provides the perfect place to relax and watch a film or challenge other guests to a board game at the end of a day exploring. Located opposite the lounge is another impressively large room, the dining room, and this also offers the comfort of a wood burner, an additional TV, plus a further set of French doors leading outside. Heading further into the property you will then discover the perfectly appointed kitchen which boasts a lovely contemporary country style and includes a Rayburn stove, electric range oven and hob, microwave, American style fridge/freezer and also a dishwasher.

Absolutely fantastic place, owners were outstanding during our stay and even helped us to find a watch we had misplaced and left behind only to locate it for us and drive over 10 miles to hand it to us in person. Truly amazing service, couldnt fault the house in anyway and will definitely return ! Book it now !

Great stay here in October half term. There were 10 of us but we still had more than enough space. Road is a little bumpy but it is well worth it. Would definitely recommend it and will hopefully get to stay there again.

The property was even better than expected, 5*s for everything. Plenty of parking, beautifully decorated and maintained. All rooms were very spacious. White goods were top range. Plenty of TVs. The heating was excellent and the log basket greatly appreciated. The beds were very comfortable. I booked it for family and friends for a special birthdRead moreay celebration and it was the ideal setting for this. The huge dining room table coped with a wonderful buffet superbly, and the beautiful lounge was perfect for mingling. Ideal property for dogs with the large outside area and I would image children would have a lovely time in the large grassy area. I could not have chosen better.

Fabulous house and garden which accommodated our family really well. Very big rooms, we never felt on top of each other. Spotlessly clean and owner very accommodating. Ideally such a fabulous house could do with another shower, however, we did feel that overall it was a small compromise to make as everything else was just perfect.
