Not what we wanted
Not a terrible place just stuck literally in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it would suite some, just not us. Met with noise from neighbours thumping against walls and a cat that kept whining to come in. Left 20 minutes after arrival. Informed owners but they didn't seem too concerned we weren't staying and didnt ask why we weren't staying. An OK place, just not for us.

Lovely quiet location
Lovley place to stay. Watched the birds and bats and saw a barn owl at night. Good area to explore if you like wildlife and history.
