“It was such a beautiful peaceful place.”
Sue and John were extremely friendly hosts, yet were not constantly hovering. they were happy for us to wander around the farm and answered any questions we had about the running of the place. Sue also made suggestions as to which were the best places to visit. I know that for some people WIFI would be a problem, you can get it in the bedroom, so it is not non existent, but for us it was not a problem, we wanted peace away from the humdrum world. the cottage was lovely and everything was spotless. Sue provided all the basic household equipment. we were very sad to leave. best relaxation we have had for years. will definitely recommend it to anyone.
