Super spot, perfect for a break. Everything needed was provided. Courtyard area with seating, nice for hot days. Owner lives next door & is lovely - leaves you alone but on hand for anything. Also provides a yummy cream tea on arrival! The accommodation is up a very narrow lane on a hill so a vehicle is a must or good mobility.
