I felt very safe and relaxed on the days I was there alone. The only issue we had was we couldnât charge our car there,(which was one of the reasons we booked there) the owners were very helpful though in directing us the closest charger. We would most certainly book to stay again.

Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding. Nice sitting room TV area. Very friendly and helpful owners more or less next door. Decent small Coop supermarket in Downton 5 mins down the hill by car. Great wood-fired pizza van at local shops every Tuesday evening - excellent pizza. Great facilities if you have an EV. No hesitation in recommending,
