    Beautiful location with amazing views over the valley. The studio which myself and my dog stayed in was perfect for us. It is a beautifully converted stable. The surroundings were equally impressive. We were made to feel very welcome. Would...

    Apart from the odd cobweb in the beams it was very clean and had everything we needed. Perfect for my sister and I for a couple of nights.
