There are two good sized bedrooms on the first floor, both beautifully presented, in the style of an upmarket boutique hotel. The third bedroom on the ground floor is equally delightful.

Very comfortable, homely place to stay. Beautiful surroundings and ideal location for hill walking. Owners very helpful. If quiet solitude is needed, then this is an ideal place.

Escaped hoping for peace and quiet and to have lovely surroundings. Aims achieved and then some. The apartment is warm, beautifully comfortable, scrupulous clean and with everything you could possibly need. There are books, games, dads. Sitting looking out the windows to beautiful views of hills and trees. Wandering in the gardens and up onto the hillside. Shops are not to far away for provisions and there are lots of places to visit.It was exactly what I needed and wanted. I can highly recommend the beautiful apartment and hope to return.
