"A fantastic stay in lovely accommodation, with an excellent host. Thank you!"

9.0

Location was great. Nice and quiet but still near the village centre. Breakfast was good and Cathy was flexible with making us porridge. Room was lovely and large. It was lovely to be able to sit outside the room on a small decking area. We also had use of an outside shed for bikes which was great. Cathy was a great host and was very helpful.

Bed was a bit soft for our liking and you sank into the middle. A change of mattress would fix this. We still slept well though.

The room was lovely. Shower was great. Breakfast was good. Parking on-site. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Bed was a bit firm and footboards made it feel short.
