Taxis are scarce, really spoiled out plans to go out but the host Sue is the loveliest person who we've ever had the pleasure of staying nearby from a place on this site. Would recommend if you don't plan on going out late on the town

We had a wonderful stay in Bluebell between Christmas and New Year. Excellent facilities, great location and Sue is a wonderful host.The welcome pack was lovely and we really appreciated the practical touches like milk and washing up liquid. Will definitely book again.
