We enjoyed it so much we could have stayed longer! It's cosy, comfortable and ideal for someone with mobility issues like myself. The owners were very welcoming and left nice touches for our stay like wine, flowers and milk.

The outside space could do with some nice comfy chairs. Would like softer towels.
