Very friendly hosts. Everything you need on hand. We really enjoyed our week stay. Extra bonus was the honesty box with fresh duck eggs and Welsh cakes in the village near the church. Only slight issues with heating as not available during the day, mattresses needs replacing, Security light was on all night and would have been nice to have it off during night as brightened up bed room. And lastly it would be better to rearrange the layout of the living room area as couch in front of radiator.
