Really good stay at a charming farmhouse

helpful owner comfortable beds original features fine views
Sarah, the owner, offered information on walks and provided fabulous breakfasts. The farmhouse features original details and really comfy beds. I also appreciated the fine views available around the area. We found the lack of television to be a positive aspect.
The road leading there requires careful driving, due to its narrowness.
