Not our first visit to this property and will not be our last. Brilliant location, peaceful but close to everything you might need . Best of all dog friendly.Walks from the door, pubs , shop, tearoom and fish and chips. Lots of places around to visit but no need to use the car at all if you don't want to. Love this place.
