Liked: Very friendly welcome on arrival. Lots of local knowledge offered by the owners. Staff member Ian couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great stay. Lovely woodland location, peaceful. It was clean and tidy. Basic but sufficient facilities. Recently taken over so new facilities are being installed, like an on-site shop and cafe.
