The property was attractive, warm, clean and compact. It was private and the garden was secure for the dog. The owner was very helpful and we appreciated the lovely cake and eggs. As the weather was very bad and overcast for most of our stay the lighting in the main room was not bright enough to read in comfort . We were not able to take advantage of very local amenities and walks due to the weather conditions so can’t reasonably comment on them.
