    I had exceptional stay at this property. It was spotlessly clean and the owner was incredibly obliging. Always going out of their way to ensure a great experience. The food was fantastic with fresh and delicious options. Every day. The owners were also very knowledgeable about the local area offering excellent recommendation for things to see and do making our trip even more enjoyable highly recommended.

    A fantastic, atmospheric, historic villa run by a wonderful couple. The room was absolutely comfortable, impeccably clean, and well-equipped. Breakfasts prepared by the hostess were very tasty and varied! Excellent communication with the host of the house! We will definitely be coming back there. We highly recommend it to everyone!

    I could not fault this hotel. I stayed in the garden room with a beautiful garden and a honesty bar, we even had a decanter of complimentary sherry. My room was beautifully decorated. We also had a kitchen to use and a fantastic sitting room. I wish we had stayed for 2 nights to enjoy it more.

    The breakfast was outstanding fresh fruit presented in beautiful tea cups. A secret recepie of apple and honey and yoghurt followed by a tomato omelette with fresh homemade bread and fresh coffee. So many other things to choose from including pancakes. The breakfast was truly amazing Susan is a wonderful cook.

    The location was perfect. We prefer to walk to take in our surroundings. It took approximately a 20 minutes leisurely walk to the centre. Taking in points of interest on the way. Alternatively there are 9 bus routes directly outside the property. 5 minutes to the centre for a mimimal charge . We chose to take advantage of the free parking and never used our car once during our stay. The breakfast was outstanding. The choice was vast. Even the way you wanted the food cooking was no trouble.

    Nothing, it was all perfect!

    The house is so beautifully decorated and inkeeping with all it's original features. A true labour of love by Susan and Paul! The rooms were so clean, and recently redecorated. It's the comfiest bed we've ever slept in! The breakfast was cooked fresh to order each morning with a really good choice of food, of which Susan made each day, including freshly baked bread! Above all else, as 2 superhosts, and myself and my partner working in hospitality, i don't think I've ever met anyone so enthusiastic about what they do, and offering so much wisdom and personal experience to help us enjoy our stay as much as possible! All I can say is, Susan and Paul, you are doing an incredible job, and we can't wait to come back!
