Super New Year Break

Pros: The property has its own parking. the location was perfect for us. There were five of us and we all enjoyed our lovely rooms, the breakfast choice was very good and all freshly cooked. We arrived early and the owners who were very accommodating. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cons: There was nothing to dislike.

Maria 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Very accommodating hosts, flexible with check-in times, we arrived early, asked if we could just park our car and were told we could check in as well. Helped us make more of our first day. John was very informative regarding local restaurants and pubs. Property was spotlessly clean, bedroom/bed very comfortable. Delicious full English breakfast really set you up for walking in the hills. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Provision also made for boot storage and coats, plus drying facility if needed, howevrt we were lucky with the weather...

Very enjoyable

Pros: The property was very clean and warm. The location was good and there was parking which was a bonus. The owners/ staff were very friendly and helpful , the breakfast was very enjoyable x

Cons: There wasn’t anything we didn’t like but I did feel that the half step leading up the stairs from the second floor to the third floor needed to be highlighted in some way I almost slipped off it when carrying my bags The patterned carpet masked the half step somewhat. A notice near the step would have been helpful

Small but perfectly formed.

Pros: We really enjoyed the breakfast, which was well-organised using the well-designed form. John and Julia were warm, friendly, and attentive at breakfast. The accommodation, while on the small side, was more than enough for the two of us.

Cons: There wasn't anything we disliked; however, the shower wasn't very powerful and the shower room was on the small side.
