    The parking is tight for larger vehicles but car park is only around the corner. Chapel was lovely and suited our needs well , beautiful village.Thank you . The only downside was the standard of cleanliness and did feel a little damp inside on arrival.

  • Anne-marie

    I stayed in 2019 and can say it continues to exceed expectations. Lots of resources, games/books/ Bly ray to keep everyone occupied. Fantastic kitchen equipped with everything one needs to make family meals even down to including washing up liquid for the pots! Will definitely be rebooking for 2023.

    The only drawbacks are that there are no windows/views as it’s all stainglass windows. In addition, no garden or outside space so no barbeques or letting out pets without full supervision.
