Highly recommend. Beautiful place to stay. Bungalow had everything we needed, really comfortable and a great base for our visit. Thanks to Chadders and his wife who were great hosts. Lovely home baked bread on arrival was a lovely touch and appreciated after a long journey. We would definitely stay again. The Cayley Arms just up the road was recommended. It's a must visit the food is amazing and the owner is a hoot.
