    I loved the house . Needed a dryer though. It rained a lot and we had trouble getting our clothes dry. I loved watching the cows in the morning and evening. Had an early wake up call from an angry bull in the yard which was quite funny.

    It was lovely staying rural and a bonus that our dog got to come with us. Plenty of space outside to play fetch with the dog. House was clean and cozy with comfortable beds. Would definitely go back.

    Awesome location, close to town centre but incredibly private. Awesome to be able to take the dog. Loved the cows in the morning. The cow theme was awesome and the rooms etc were comfortable and clean. We will definitely be back
