perfect location walking routes amazing breakfast musty room old hotel check in
the location is perfect, if you love walking, there are lots of routes from the farm. it means, there's no need to drive, exactly what we wanted. breakfast is amazing and the room is comfy to be in. i love that the views are very nice too.
the room was a little musty. i understand it, it is an old hotel. i did wish the check in was more defined as we waited for a while to check in.

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.
