    Absolutely nothing , the property is located on a main road through the small village (next to a beautiful church) but we managed to park directly outside so no complaints whatsoever. Thanks again for sharing your amazing property with us.

    An absolute gem of a property hidden away in a charming idyllic village. A beautiful converted property that is modern, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. Great power shower in the bathroom and bed was very comfortable. Shared with my Daughter for one night and we have loved to stay longer. The owners were both extremely helpful, always checking we were happy and nothing was too much. Great family dogs who were so friendly too. The most amazing breakfast, honestly the best I have encountered in 50 years. I thing the beautiful gardens and the sunny weather added additional brownie points. The gardens are truly amazing full of flora and fauna and created a relaxing and distressing experience just to sit and listen to the beautiful sounds of nature. Also a small fenced pond area which was truly delightful. I could go on and on but feel you should experience this hidden gem for yourself. Just don’t tell too many people or we won’t get another night booked in. Honestly thank you so much for making our stay truly unforgettable before our flight home.

    No pub/restaurant within walking distance. However Matthew and Karin recommended several eating establishments within a few minutes drive.

    The Potting Shed was surrounded by a beautiful garden; the window had a peaceful view which looked like a painting. The bed was comfortable and the whole place just felt cosy.

    A genuinely perfect B&B! Our stay at Mathew's B&B was a delightful escape. Mathew's charm and local knowledge enhanced our experience, guiding us to local walks/attractions/restaurants. An absolute highlight was Mathew's impromptu suggestion to witness the enormous starling murmurations at sunset, creating a genuine wonderful memory! The cozy annexe provided a private retreat, complemented by a beautiful surrounding garden and the breakfast was superb! We're already planning our return, drawn by the perfect blend of comfort, local insights, and great hosting. Highly recommended for a personalized and memorable getaway!
