Katie's place is an absolute gem! It was spotlessly clean and felt welcoming to come into with lots of homely touches. Kate herself was a superb host, especially given the difficulties of communication during COVID-19. She was always extremely quick to respond, was there for any queries and to suggest nearby amenities and even went out of her way to check in with me and make sure everything was to my liking.
The property is beautiful, I had my dog with me who refused to leave the large garden for love nor money and had great fun splashing about in the adjacent river. There were plenty of forests and beaches within short driving distance to go on little adventures to as well.
All the amenities within the house were in great working order, anything that wasn't intuitive to use, Kate had left notes explaining how they work. There was even kindling and briquettes left out to use for the fireplace.
All in all I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful break in the countryside. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would be back in a heartbeat.
