Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property was well located, the property had an open fire and we had access to wood and kindling. Plenty of board games for the family. The hosts were very helpful and offered a dog walking service, this was extremely useful. Lovely woodland walks are available directly from the property. It was a very quiet location.
Negative: The track down to the property was quite narrow, if you have a wide vehicle, it could possibly get scratched.
Summary: Lovely property and a return visit will be planned
