It has a rural location, but is within easy reach of so many facilities and different places to visit. Everything combined to make our stay here really enjoyable.

We had eveything we needed, including a welcome basket that provided us with breakfast. The local village store has freezers packed with delicious meals for one/two/four people and we could not believe the selection of items it stocks. The owners are so friendly and helpful, thank you very much. Fantastic break, shame we couldn't stay longer.
