Very comfortable, spacious and conveniently situated within a few minutes of the local pub where we went for our evening meal. The pub stopped serving food at 7.30pm. Walks straight from the doorstep which was great. We had to park one car on the free car park area in the village but it was no problem. Would definitely recommend and come back again.
