It is comfortable and very well equipped. The owners are friendly, knowledgeable about the area and very approachable. The swimming pool is an added bonus, especially as we were there during one of the hottest weeks of the year. We have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

It's an extremely relaxing place and a lot of thought and care has gone into preparing this accomodation. Bev and David are such a kind couple. They gave me helpful tips of places to visit and they even gave me a new hat as I couldn't find mine when I was packing for the recent heatwave!!
