We enjoyed our stay at the Garth. The photos do not do it justice. It is a beautiful house and garden. It was immaculate. We will be returning in the summer to enjoy the garden as it was October we were unable to do this.

We had a great time staying at the Garth. It was very clean on arrival. The location is ideal and you can walk via a back pathway into the square in 5 minutes. A torch was needed walking back this way. The house has everything you could want and everything was of a high standard. The only thing I found inconvenient but it’s not something the host can change was the glass cooker hood was very large and I hit my head on it several times when using the hob. This would not stop me booking again.
