We stayed in The Old Parlour the last week of August, a little tricky to find but the host was lovely and helpful. Once there it is a stunning place to stay and so peaceful. Everything was included and we were very appreciative of the welcome pack. Absolutely immaculate with lots of space for us all. Unfortunately we didn't get enough time to explore the local area but there is a supermarket within a short driving distance. I would highly recommend this property and would love to return again one day.
