Delightful house. Ground floor bedroom and en-suite was perfect for someone with mobility issues. Well equipped and great extras for dogs - bowls, beds, towels - and comfortable beds.

Such a lovely place to stay, so comfortable, and the hosts have a splendid cupboard full of all the basic things we need for cooking and in my case forget to bring with us - and a welcome bottle of wine :-) . Will definitely be going to stay there again
