As promised! Very tranquil and the ducks are lovely. The landscaping is beautiful and we enjoyed walking around the grounds. The kitchen is spare, but consistent with description. It has the basics but don’t plan to cook anything elaborate as space is limited. The bbq worked well and I suggest using that. Our host left two yummy croissants and we were set for breakfast. We were greeted by a neighbor who was very kind and helpful. We stayed here while doing the Hobbiton tour and it is a reasonable drive from there. Highly recommend.
