We really enjoyed our stay here, its comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The bus service is a short walk to the main road and the local pub is even closer. An excellent few days away.

Had a lovely stay. The host went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. There were maps of local area and details of local restaurants etc. House was warm with plenty of room and an added bonus of toilet facilities downstairs as well as on suite to bedrooms
