Accommodation and welcome (including welcome pack) excellent, off the beaten track in a rural quiet location but central for visiting so many places. You really don't need to drive miles and miles for something interesting to see and do. |

We had a lovely 5 days only wish it had been for longer. The owners have put a huge amount of thought into providing every facility to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. No matter what the weather you are able to enjoy your stay in this lovely area. The gardens are a treat so colourful and well kept - a pleasure to sit in the sunshine and in the evening to enjoy an aperitif watching the sun set. The interior is of excellent quality and so clean and comfortable. |
