Itâs small but so well thought out and finished to a very good standard. We would definitely stay again! Ps: wine and chocolates were a lovely gesture, thank you!

Cosy and has a well equipped kitchen for making some basic breakfast and simple meals. The drive to the premise is also wide enough and smooth, not like other tiny country roads in the same area.
