“The house was just as advertised,it was clean, warm and comfortable, somewhere to look forward to returning to.”
The house was well equipped,the kitchen to be totally envious of. Two small gripes, firstly the sitting room was quite dark in the evening.There were plenty of lamps but due I suppose to the thickness of the walls,no wall lights. This resulted in it being impossible to read a book at night without using a torch! Our stay was in October, I presume not such an issue in Summer.

The second issue was that there was no mention or pictures of the three large steps between the kitchen and the sitting room.These are hewn out of stone and are much bigger than normal steps,2 of our party have problems with their knees and did prove to be uncomfortable at times. There is no avoiding them, as the stairs to the bedrooms are accessed from the kitchen level. In fact all the different sitting areas are on different levels so visitors with mobility issues may find it an unexpected challenge.
Those two niggles apart the house was exceptional. the beds and bedding of high quality and the decor a delight. Such a joy to have matching crockery rather than what looks like oddments from the owners cupboard and knives that match and are sharp.
We had a wonderful week and is amongst the top houses we have stayed in
