There was even a box of fudge and a bottle of wine to welcome us. We can't fault our stay and would certainly stay again. Thanks for having us!

) and we enjoyed an extremely pleasant and comfortable stay. On arrival we discovered dust under some of the furniture and cobwebs on the lampshades - not a huge problem, but we did notice it! Parking on the narrow cul-de-sac street is not always possible, especially with four people using two cars. Turning is almost impossible on the short street, so you end up backing out on to the main road. We mostly had to find street parking nearby, but that wasn't difficult. There were only two bowls when we arrived, but by the second day four more were provided. We have broken one small wine glass during our stay: please bill us for the replacement.
