“"The Crackin Cowstall"”
Hi all. I don't think we can recommend this place enough. Our host Jan had thought of everything, supplying milk, tea, coffee and sugar. Eggs laid by her own chickens which were delicious by the way. Bowl of fruit, washing up liquid, tea towels... You name it, there it was.. On to the accommodation itself. This was just lovely, a real home from home. Very comfortable and cosy. The underfloor heating in the kitchen, dining/lounge area helped with that. Nice size bedrooms with comfortable beds and a really good bathroom with walk in shower. Outside through the French doors there is a good size patio area with an outlook over a large green area, ideal for children to have a run around and beyond that a paddock area. The property is also in a good location for those wanting to travel out to further a field. I think we will definitely book here again sometime in the future.. Thank you Jan..
