    Lovely place, lots of room, nice and warm, lovely hosts, just a note for dog owners that the door doesn’t go directly out into the garden, you have to open the front door and then open a gate to let the dogs into the garden **

    It was a good week, didn't want to leave really enjoyed it. The only thing I would like to see there is a clock

    Lovely place. Clean with modern amenities. Well equipped kitchen. A very welcome pack of fresh goods on arrival much appreciated. Some road noise but not a criticism but just to be aware of. Great outlook. Friendly hosts a great break away would definitely go to this place again.
