Only 2 mins from main Street and restaurants and pubs. Friendly and very helpful host and Belinda who looks after the property was a lovely lady who made sure we were all settled. Nothing was too much bother for either the host, who gave us great instructions via email and a phone call, or Belinda. We'll worth a visit, and scenery was just beautiful Will definitely return. Thanks to both Jeff and Belinda
