This was the restful break that we needed. It felt so peaceful, as soon as we arrived, we wanted to return.
The building is full of contradictions that make it wonderful - rough stone walls without, smooth white within, grounded, but up on a rise, both spacious/airy, and cosy.
The combined river and birdsong, the fire, the bath, the kitchen that has everything you need to prepare meals, the big table to eat it at.
Our hosts were helpful, kind, and had thought of everything. I should distinguish at this point that I am referring to our human hosts, because they had an enthusiastic assistant.
A key part of our stay was Charlie, the 1 year old RSPCA rescue dog, who has incredible social skills. Endearingly polite and solicitous at the get go, once you reciprocate, Charlie is up for play, and makes for a genuinely good guide for a walk down / over the stream - leading the way, and waiting for you. We are not alone, every guidebook entry since his arrival mentions Charlie. Take it from (all of) us, Charlie would really like to meet you.
It is a slow drive down the winding gravel road for about 7km(?) to get there. But don't be put off. The instructions are excellent and would be good in the pitch dark.
We want to go back.
