Lovely accommodation, we were lucky as no other guests as parking a little limited, some of the furniture is a little tired and beds very squeaky but overall a great place for a family get together

What a fantastic place for a group of people. There were six adults in our party so plenty of room for us all. The building is really nice, very clean and warm. The snacks and wine left for us were very welcome too!Some great walks from the front door and the church to explore just down the lane.We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year.
