The Italian restaurant a few doors away is great. A great base for exploring the area too.

Had everything we needed for a short break and had all the facilities to self cater if you wanted to. Very warm and cosy. Would definitely return.

Very comfortable and spotless. Very convenient for everything and we managed to park outside the house every time we returned. Met the owner who was very helpful about the parking permit, which was very useful. Only one comment about an outside light. The front door step was in darkness going out and in at night. Only main street lights were at the end of the road. Would be safer if there was an outside light to put on temporarily. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend it others.
