Excellent holiday accommodation. Very unique tasteful internal decoration. Garden beautiful. Great advice from the host regarding directions to accommodation. As they say ‘ do not use sat nav!’. Good tip - take a paper copy of map area with you. Would certainly recommend accommodation. Excellent local pub within walking distance.

Glorious rural ocation for a beautifully converted barn of great style, comfort and amenity. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and gave us tips on places to visit and where to eat and drink. The garden is magnificent, attractively designed, with a diverse range of flowers, shrubs and trees, and clearly maintained with great care. The property itself is well-equipped, and both bedrooms have adjacent or close by. The wi-fi was strong with no interruptions, and the TV provides all the main streaming channels. We would happily stay there again.... and again...
