Lovely welcome from Janet with a generous Welcome Pack.
Les
Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with a lovely garden - perfect for families with children. Just a shame the weather wasn't good enough to sit on the decking for breakfast. Clean, comfortable and a welcome hamper with essentials (and some treats!) Janet also left milk in the fridge so we could make tea on our arrival. Will definitely go back!
Barry
It was spotlessly clean and everything needed was provided including a lovely welcome pack on arrival. It was ideally situated for visiting the coast and many local attractions. Janet the owner gave us a very friendly welcome and made us feel at home. Highly recommended.
