Idyllic location overlooking wheat field. Very quiet and private. Can admire nature from lounge. Friendly and helpful owners on-site, but not intrusive. Very comfortable leather sofas in lounge. Very comfortable bed. Good location to visit different attractions without too much driving. Disappointed with kitchen area. Not very well equipped. Needs Read moremodernization and cupboard space to store food. While the property was overall clean, there were one or two areas that could do with attention to detail. Hide
