Gorgeous location. So many sheep and lambs baa-ing in the fields nearby! Clean and tidy, with everything you need for a weekend in nature. The kitchen's been re-done recently and feels very modern. A great place for large groups of friends or a family get together. Lots to do nearby and lovely views to look out on with a glass of wine. Will definitely be back.
