The location is appreciated for its peacefulness and suitability for walkers, with a central base for exploring local attractions. However, some guests found parking to be difficult, slightly affecting the score.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with a good bed and well-thought-out decor. Some guests mentioned the accommodation being smaller than expected and issues with a hard sofa and lack of privacy between living and sleeping areas.
While the reviews mention the property being well-furnished and having everything needed for a short stay, there is insufficient detail on the overall state of facilities and maintenance to provide a score.

The Vestry was very clean and quaint. Bed was comfortable. Only complaint, if we could call it that, was the sofa opposite the TV was rather small and a bit hard. Otherwise it was lovely. There wasn't a lot of entertainment when you don't know the area but it was ideal for walkers. Area around was peaceful and quiet. Large enough supermarket not too far away. Varied cary out restaurant in easy reach if you don't feel like cooking but the kitchen has everything.
