Lovely accommodation in such a quiet village. Having en-suite to both bedrooms was perfect. Ideally situated nothing too far away, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, beaches etc. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Really great place to stay the garden is great and secure for dogs. The facilities is good with everything you need even a washing machine.I do have 1 suggestion maybe a mirror so you can see if any cars are coming as you come out of the driveway. Also for a none fixed shower so you can move the shower to your height would be good. The owners were great and helpful if you need them as they live next-door. Apart from that i would deffo book again

Very pleasant location, in a tiny hamlet. Nearest shop/pub is a short drive/long walk away. Accommodation is well presented and clean but better suited to a young family rather than two couples , in our opinion, due to disparity between two rooms - one has no wardrobe. Washing machine probably suits a family too, we would have preferred a dish washer! All facilities very good but both rooms should have mirrors. Garden is pleasant although totally enclosed, without any sort of view (back wall of village hall!) Hosts very pleasant and approachable. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay, thank you.
