"Exceptional"

10.0

Great location for exploring the area and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the more popular holiday areas to be peaceful and relaxing. Quirky but comfortable accommodation, set on a slight bank in a quiet rural location. Will and Lynnie were great hosts, they even got us involved with the weekly pub quiz (Which we did quite well in), and then spent the following evening chatting away with us until closing time....and also introduced us to some newborn Guinea Pigs!! The free roaming Guinea Pigs on site was another quirk of this place which all added to the charm for us. Evening meals and breakfast were both good. Would recommend this place if you're after something slightly different from your usual run of the mill places to stay. Will be stopping again when in the area

Will and LIlli want out of there way to make us feel welcome and were very nice, friendly and accomodating. The cabin was very nice clean and very cozy. The breakfast was lovely , very nice set us up for the day. Nice setting and nice location

You could drive up by the pub and park next to your cabin but the lane was a little steep and with weather it wasn't ideal but not a negative you can park outside the pub. I think it's more somewhere I would stay in spring & summer.
