We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Parlour. It is immaculate, and very comfortable. A lovely welcome basket was waiting for us on arrival. Donna was a lovely host and very helpful. We loved the garden as it was fully enclosed to keep our dog safe. There are plenty of local pubs, walks and attractions all ranging between 5 and 30 minutes drive away. It was also nice just to stay in and chill in the lovely garden with our dog, a book and a glass of wine. We highly recommend The Parlour **

The Parlour is beautifully presented with everything you could want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The lovely attached garden is a real bonus, especially if you have a dog with you too. The rural location makes for a gorgeous setting - the only reason I have marked it average for local amenities, but there are many places and nearby towns to visit in the area, so this was not an issue for us. We loved it!
