Very well located with a quiet pub, serving excellent food, next door. The property was superb and excellent value for money. Clean and tidy, with a wood burning stove- warm and welcoming. Decorated to my taste with high quality soft furnishings. Beds were very comfortable indeed. Highly recommended!
