Lovely walks to local pubs for dinner in evenings. The gentleman who is housekeeper at the ownerâs house on site is very warm and helpful. A lovely peaceful hideaway for a couple.

Very comfortable bed and great location. Amazing Shower! The sofa was the only very slight fly in the ointment - designed for style over function sadly and they could do with a foot stool too. But we had a lovely stay and would definitely return.
