Super place to stay , a real home from home! What a lovely home for the week- super clean , lovely and cool indoors in the searing heat we had this past week, extremely comfortable and with a beautiful garden to boot! Marvellous! We loved it ! It is in an ideal spot for exploring the local area and well placed for travel to shops , petrol stations etc. The village pub is super. Great food and very welcoming and dog friendly! Lovely church in the village too. Friendly neighbours around too! All in all a great week!
