    Otherwise the Property is very well set up.

  • Liz

    It was ideally situated for us to visit the places we wanted to see. The owner was very friendly and helpful and he also told us a bit about the history of the ruined mansion next door.

  • Mary

    Everything in cottage was clean, beds were comfortable and linen spotless. Edwin also gave us directions to pub that served good food reasonably priced with lovely staff. All in all myself and my family had a lovely holiday and would recommend it. Mary
