Summary: Home was lovely and welcoming nice and warm and lighrs left on for us with electic candles as well. The kitchen was like home from home with everything you could possible need for self catering including baking cakes etc (which sadly we did not have time to do) The lounge was roomy and warm with central heating and an optional log fire. Smart tv was very welcome enabling us to log in to netflix and plenty of other apps that we didnt use. DVD collection which we didnt use. Lots of interesting books about local area and history. Bedrooms were slightly compact but more than adequote with everything we could possible need includinf bedding towels.and flannels provided. Our spaniel Shirley loved exploring the expanse of the garden. All absolutely lovely and our family who visited also commented on how nice it was. We will definitely stay again
