Lovely garden which needs some photos taken. Great location, easy walk into town but maintaining a country feel. Would definitely go back. Only gripe is if you are a light sleeper the blinds are light and bright and you cannot sneak about due to the squeaky floor. Mind you we are used to blackout blinds. Wifi is fine, kept the teenagers happy. No smart TV so if you canât live without Netflix bring a device.

Home away from home. Had everything we needed. Bit of confusion over recycling. The card says cans and glass bottles in a coloured bag but the bag was not lifted because it had glass bottles. Please amend your guidance. That apart we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back. Really handy for the town which is beautiful.
