Paul Preston, on 2023-08-09

Our room was lovely, nicely decorated and very clean. The room had everything we needed during our stay. We had a really relaxing time after a hard day's work. The surrounding countryside was beautiful. Breakfast was very nice with lots of choice. Our hosts were very polite and helpful. We will definitely be returning at some point. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful and peaceful, if you are looking for a quiet place to stay this place is perfect! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, calling a couple of local restaurants for me when I got there. Thank you Sharon and Naomi in particular. Breakfast was full of options to choose from and overall was a very relaxing experience :-)

Very welcoming and warm members of staff. Very large, comfortable and clean room with a really comfortable bead. Large and enjoyable breakfast. All for a very reasonable price (although it was out of season). I would happily return and recommend to others.
