A luxurious bedroom each, 5 bathrooms, furnished and equipped to the highest quality, everything we needed for self catering. The outside space was a real bonus for our morning coffee and evening glass of wine. Well located in walking distance of the railway station, supermarkets, great choice of pubs & restaurants, the shops and castle. Lovely to meet the owners and learn about the history of the house. Highly recommended!
