Beautiful house set in a lovely location. Stayed with a group of friends and we were all impressed with how large and spacious all the room were in the house. It was really welcoming to have freshly baked scones, wine and all the basics we needed there for us when we arrived. The owners were really helpful. I will definitely book this again.
