Although our host Kate was away at a wedding on the day of our arrival she made us feel welcome in all her e-mails. When we did meet she was helpful on trips ect and explaining the history of the house and it's whereabouts ( eg water pumped from a well). The location is exactly as described and we had a very nice couple of days at her 'Countryside Retreat'. It was a shame we couldn't take Kate up on her kind invitation for Sunday lunch- perhaps another time! Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful retreat.
