Emma
Love the 3 en-suite bedrooms which is ideal for couples. Only downside is the smaller living area which is snug for 6 adults. Loved the location and pub next door.

Parking and access to the pub, excellent. Only down side was the lounge/kitchen/dinner is a little snug for six adults. One person in the kitchenette and its full. Couldn't really get 5 adults on the settee comfortably. But for a short stay it was brilliant. Owners are friendly and the church inn pub was fantastic with some if the best food we have had. Highly recommend. Thanks

Living area a little small. We were a party of 4 with 2 dogs and felt if 6 adults were staying the living area would be a little small for comfort. However overall a splendid stay with super pub next door.
