Quill corner is excellent. It’s a lovely apartment in an old stone cottage which has been refurbished to a high standard. It’s very comfortable, and is well equipped for a self catering holiday. It’s just a one minute walk to the shops and the designated parking space was a bonus. I would definitely recommend it.

Had very enjoyable stay in this delightful cottage. Everything supplied, home from home. Amazing location,especially as we do not have own transport, so able to easily explore surroundings as bus station so close by, and supermarket too for everything required, perfect.
