    • The host couple are very attentive and try everything to make you feel well. • Perfect for English speaking travellers; breakfast is British inspired too, but not everybody might be fond of that ;-) • Free parking just across the street

    Very friendly hosts made us feel at home from the start. Lovely food. The garden is a lovely place to relax and the surrounding countryside is perfect for pre and post dinner walks. Don’t step on the hedgehogs if going at dusk!
