If the weather permits, head outdoors to your private garden and enjoy the exceptional countryside views as you dine alfresco.

Afterwards, gather around the fire pit, while the unpolluted dark skies above provide a perfect canvas for stargazing under a blanket of stars.

The sitting room is a true highlight of the property, boasting an inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, Velux windows, and wooden beams, creating a warm yet light and airy space.

Superb location, house full of character.

Very comfortable and warm living room. Beds very comfortable with clean bedlinen. Bathroom sinks and loos clean. However, some issues need dealing with; only one towel per person (usually 2 in every s/c I've stayed in), no towels at all in downstairs bedroom, no handtowel in kitchen and bathrooms; there was an honesty box for logs despite details stating 'all fuel included'; windowsills in kitchen & dining room very grubby as was kitchen mat, one bedroom mat and bedroom cushion covers stained. Kitchen sink constantly kept getting blocked. No welcome pack, just some fresh milk and bread would be good. Water heating system didn't seem to match instructions. No info file with helpful details for appliances such as dishwasher, coffee machine etc. None of these spoiled our stay but they are all things that could easily be rectified to enhance guests' experience in such a beautiful spot. One big concern, when we needed to speak to an emergency contact on the Sunday at the agency after accidentally locking ourselves out, this proved impossible. All we received were unhelpful emails we could not reply to as info required was inside the property. Very luckily a passing local man was able to gain access through an open upstairs window. How about a spare doorkey left in an outbuilding in the event of this happening? We would definitely consider a return visit but would welcome assurance that the above concerns would be addressed.

The accommodation was cosy and the bedrooms and sitting room were well presented.

However, many of plates, mugs, bowls, cutlery, pans etc were dirty, so we ended up washing the majority of them before we could use them. The kitchen/dining room floor was dirty. We mopped it and the water turned black. The fridge smelt as though it had not been ventilated when turned off. Soap dispenser in the bathroom empty (we ended up looking through the cupboards to find some). It was unclear which bins were meant for which items - there were two green wheelie bins that had blown over by the gate, but it did not say what they were for. Rubbish from previous visitors was overflowing the bins to the side of the house, with bin bags piled up next to them, so we could not put our bin bag outside, as we did not want to leave it outside of a bin, in case animals chewed it and created more of a mess. The bulb in the lamp on the left side of the double bed (first room at top of stairs on right) does not work. Also, one curtain is missing from the window in this room, but the rings are still there for it on the curtain pole. The lampshade next to the double bed (second room on right at top of stairs) is brown around the top, as if it has been burnt.
