We had a great time. Itâs on 3 floors. The ground floor is a well equipped kitchen. The second floor is a nice lounge, with a log burning stove. The bedroom is a mezzanine above. The shower room off it is small but adequate. The bedroom is also small but with a decent sized comfortable bed. The building seems to retain its heat and was snug. The spiral staircase is a little tricky to negotiate, particularly with a case. The TV has Freeview stations, but nothing more. Colin the owner was so helpful & pleasant, and Clareâs jam and marmalade were delicious.

Colin could not have been more welcoming or helpful, and Care's home made marmalade was as good as we hoped. A perfect romatic hideaway for two. The kitchen was particularly well appointed, which is not always the case, and was a real bonus as I like to ciik.
