    Clean, comfortable and warm…this was delightful, quirky accommodation with a great view in a quiet, private setting. The hot tub was a nice addition and the wild flowers very appealing. Parking was easy and free. The bottle of wine was a nice, welcoming touch too. Thank you, we’ve had a lovely few days.
