    Set in a very quiet rural area with a large garden St Peters is great for a family holiday. The house was very clean, beds comfy. An imaginative conversion of an old Chapel, be aware there are four bedrooms on the first floor but only one loo, the other is downstairs.The kitchen is spacious, with a huge cooker loads of crockery and cutlery, we found crockery dirty (probably previous guest) there is really no excuse as a dishwasher is provided. Some of the pots and pans could do with being changed. If like us you are there during variable weather, there is no way to adjust the heat other than phone the owner who does it remotely. We had a great time.
