The hosts are very welcoming and are keen to ensure that you enjoy your stay. There is plenty of information about places to go and what to do and there is a good variety of walks straight from the door. Highly recommended.

The owners are next door and very pleasant and helpful. The kitchen facilities are a little limited with no oven but there are options close by for eating out if necessary. We loved the place, our second visit and we will be back next year.
