Sue
Property was spotlessly clean and welcoming. We had the joy of potting up the winter hanging baskets and planters in the small courtyard garden to the rear. A really fun activity. Looking forward to our next stay already.

Terance
It would have been good to know before that the bathroom is on the ground floor rather than near the bedrooms for those who find it necessary to get up in the night. The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay and the beds were comfortable.
