Very easy to find. Readily able to park outside property, which was very clean & welcoming. The weather wasn't great for much of our break but it didn't matter as we were warm & cozy inside rediscovering our love of jigsaws! Lots of space, airy & bright this was a great place to stay. The biscuits & milk left for us to be able to brew up as soon we got there was much appreciated too. The basket of logs was also very welcome & made our first evening a lovely memorable one sat drinking tea, eating biscuits in front of a lovely fire. We look forward to returning soon with our Newfoundland 🥰
