We had a wonderful weekend at The Old Workshop which has been built to a high standard. It was wonderful to wake up and have a cup of tea in the small patio watching the world go by. We enjoyed the Hot Tub to cool off in during the tropical heat ! The place is ideal for dog owners with lovely walks in the surrounding area. The owners are very welcoming and helpful ....... you leave as friends !
