Spotlessly clean with lovely (and very welcome) touches on arrival. The furniture and bed, were incredibly comfortable. Decorations were charming, whimsical and fun. The dishes and cups and kitchen were more than adequate in style and supply. Quiet (loved the horse traffic), easy to access from our friends in child Okeford. Great accommodation in one of the most beautiful places in England! We will likely become regulars and our friends will also be referring their overflow. Thanks Denise!
