Beautiful place to stay was perfect for us as we were visiting family in the local village. Lots of lovely places to visit close by. A good pub in the next village for meals and local banter. Owners were lovely and made good recommendations where to eat etc. we will definitely recommend to our friends and family and hope to go back soon..
