An excellent property within a first class location. The quality of the decor and the facilities within the property were extremely good. All this supported by a very competent and charming owner/manager. We have to say that during our stay there were no negative experiences. We highly recommend this property.

It accommodated our three generations easily and was a great base to explore the countryside and stunning beaches. We were very lucky to have a week of sunshine! The house had everything we needed and is lovely and clean. Our only recommendation would be for mirrors with sockets in the two king rooms. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed lots of games around the large kitchen table and in the games room. We all made friends with the cows and sheep in the fields and our dog enjoyed the garden and walks along the country lanes. Not far to travel to get to pubs, shops and takeaways. Weâve had a great time. Thank you!
