Good location for walking, local amenities with good pubs and shops within walking distance/ a short drive. Ideal accommodation for 2 people and on site parking a real bonus. Owner came to check with us on first morning which was welcome. We gave 4 stars as couldn't contact the owner on email provided by Sykes which was frustrating as the shower didn't work and did not discover this until later on our first day. The bath is lovely but too deep for someone with bad knees. We saw the owner again as we were leaving and he hadn't received our emails, so the email address needs to be corrected to avoid future problems. Would definitely stay again.
