Small garden at the back which gives a pleasant outlook and seating if the weather is nice. Pleasant owners on hand to help if need be.

Quite spacious and has all the facilities you need. Nice sitting out areas on the covered veranda at the front or the private garden to the side. Quiet rural area with good walks and plenty of castles and churches nearby to visit. The friendly, helpful owners live opposite.
