Valerie
The cleanliness cannot be faulted. Helen is very friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. We loved the views from the garden too. We will definitely be going back for our third stay in a couple of years. Thank you.

It's been very cleverly designed for optimum space inside which is perfect if you use a wheelchair like myself. The wetroom in particular is well thought out with a shower stool and good shower. The place is clean and well kept. It's a pity access to the garden is not level as it appears online. We were offered a ramp though so the option is there. All in all a lovely place to stay with friendly and helpful owners.
