Just perfect

Stayed here with my sister and adult daughters to attend a wedding near-by. Wish we had been staying longer. Karen was very helpful when we had to book at the last minute due to being let-down with another property. The property was warm and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful setting with lovely walks from the doorstep. Would highly recommend.
