One of the highlights was a close encounter with 3 cuckoos fighting over territory or a female. They called and circled for about an hour over the house. ##### Sophia S.

The house keeper is really helpful and provided great information about the area and facilities - local eating places etc. With regard to the property it is getting a little tired and wasn't too happy about the use of extension leads, one of which fed the fridge and didn't actually work. With the house manager's help we managed to sort this out. minor gripe - the curtains didn't provide any reduction in light which some might not worry about. My main problem with the property is we were a group of five adults and one baby and the kitchen is just totally inadequate for that number of people. it would be fine to just heat up some simple food but not prepare a full meal. The above said it was very clean and tidy and has a nice lounge area. ##### Peter B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kerry l. 22 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lovely location with nice accommodation, perfect base for exploring the area.
