Great location and friendly helpful host.We loved it and so did our dog.Very comfortable bed and good supply hot water in spacious shower. Kitchen a bit limited as no oven, but we eat out mostly at excellent pubs 5 mins drive away. You do need a car though as no shops or pubs nearby. We loved the peace and quiet.

The showmans carriage is a lovely place to stay. Negatives -There was some dust and cobwebs throughout. The kitchen is very basic and would be improved with a small air fryer (we brought our own) and the mattress dips in the middle. A blind on the kitchen is really needed.Positives - Overall though we had a lovely time, it's so peaceful and the log burner was great.Enjoyed some local walks and tried some of the nearby eateries
