    The setting is beautiful and the owner is lovely. The bonus was his very friendly dog, who appeared quietly outside whenever we did. He gave us unlimited minutes of vigorous exercise, by offering his toy for us to try and wrestle off him (the dog, not the owner) We will definitely be back to this lovely place for some peace and quiet and beauty

  • Emma

    Will definitely go back

  • Katie
