It had everything you needed. Beds comfy, kitchen and sitting room all in one and was really comfortable. It was in a quiet location. The owners were there if needed but left you to your own devises. Lovely area with plenty to see.

The Gallery has been modified to a very high standard and still has interesting features from farming days gone by. Gary and Pat have thought of everything inside, even to a bottle of orange juice and home made cake on the table on arrival. Provided you are happy with stairs (outside and inside), we would recommend The Gallery very highly.
