Compact and bijou. Great for a few days. May not for a week. But was lovely tidy place. Convenient store next door that sells every thing you need. And a pub across the road with great food. Sight seeing not too far away. And if you have a dog there is a great dog walking area just up the road. Where you can let the dogs run free. On the whole a great time.

It is very compact but well equipped and comfortable. Right in the centre of the village so easy access to shop, pub and bus stop if required.
