"Exceptional"

10.0

Lovely place set on a dairy farm and situated up on top of a hill, this gave it a very nice outlook. The B&B was very comfortable and private. Breakfast was perfect. Our host, Viv, was very welcoming and made us very comfortable. She also gave good feedback for things to do in the area.

"A great 3 days"

9.0

Great homestay, host was exceptional, had drinks at her place and all went out for dinner. Location was ideal for us, we didn't want any hustle or bustle.

Only thing was bed/settee was a little uncomfortable, but quite adequate.
