Excellent accommodation and lots of thought put into making it a home from home. The Welcome pack was the best we have ever received and was a lovely touch as it did make us feel welcome. The owners were also very helpful with places to visit locally. If you want a relaxing peaceful holiday please consider Rainbows End.
