Superb location with an excellent view and a warm welcome from Terry, the owner, who was friendly and readily available when needed. Lovely to meet Sadie the dog and enjoyed playing ball with her! Great hot tub with a great view of the hills. Local pubs and supermarkets easily reached, recommend the “Old Inn” for a meal.
