    Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful village. We had a great stay here - the living area was perfect for our two families, quality pool table, lovely lounging area and a decent kitchen. Bedrooms were all comfy and the whole place had real character. The host was also great. Highly recommended. Take your own CD if you want music as the in-house collection is cool but small.
