The required 1000hrs departure time is stressful if you have a long drive home ahead. Departure times for Hotels, etc, is usually 1100hrs. Owners Julie and Justin very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend a stay at Skylark.

The surrounding countryside is green and tranquil, and we enjoyed the mile-long walk along a peaceful lane to the pub in Longnor. The 3 nearby bike trails are fantastic. A wonderful place to stay.
