The family loved the claw footed baths! It is an old house, but that's its charm. It was spotlessly clean and we had a lovely cake included in our welcome pack! The location is great for walks and exploring the local area and just a short walk into the village.

Lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a family stay. The owner was friendly and helpful. The house is characterful and charming but somewhat tired especially the kitchen and the main living room. The furniture would benefit from updating as could the decor. It would have been useful to see a floor plan prior to booking due to the unusual layout of the bedrooms. The bathrooms were nicely done, but the beds themselves particularly in the rear bedroom were somewhat uncomfortable and sagging. Overall a nice stay, a beautiful location and good for a family holiday but definitely needs some updating.

The cleaning company run by Mel went over and above her duties to help us out with a problem, extremely honest and trustworthy. Thank you
