Was a wonderful stay as stated above. Location is key.
Pros:

We made our own breakfast. Loved the location. Absolutely stunning views and very quiet. Just lovely. Owners are super nice.

Cons:

Wasn't anything I didn't like but thought having carpet throughout wasn't a great idea. Especially in the dining and kitchen area. Always had to be so careful not to drop or stain anything. At least with tile or wood flooring, you can always wipe up. Bedrooms would be fine. Not sure if improvement can be made, considering location, but wifi and internet very iffy!

Pros:

Traditional country property in a beautiful location. We had a spacious, well furnished room and modern bathroom. Log fires and central heating very welcome in the depths of winter.
We were made so welcome in every way by the generous owners/ hosts and enjoyed excellent food and wines during our stay.

Great room. Very clean. Hosts were very friendly, and we were made to feel very welcome.

Any requests we made were granted with no problem.
The swimming pool was welcome on such a warm day with great views over the valley. I would definitely stay again.
