    If you want to get out of the city and have a quiet stay this is the place for you. We could only hear the fast water in the river to put us to sleep and the sheep talking to each other.

    The setting was beautiful. Clean and tidy little house. Had everything we needed. Close to town by car, but still in a rural area. The shower has great pressure. Bed is a little on the soft side but that's ok.
