    Lovely welcoming place to stay. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. The room was spotless and had everything you could need. There was a restaurant here which looked very nice but I was otherwise engaged on the evening I stayed

    Well priced with an excellent location. Hosts were lovely, couldn’t fault the breakfasts and evening meals that we had as well. Would recommend without question.
