Lovely conversion, everything you need. Nice quiet spot but not too far to drive to shops or pub. Extremely comfy bed and sofas, a definite bonus.Fridge small but adequate for what I needed. Host close by if you need anything.

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful location which was perfect for our stay. The accommodation was clean and stocked with everything we could need. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. I don’t think we could have had a better experience.
