    We only spent one night , however we fell in love with this beautifuly restored period house. King size bed was very comfortable, room was warmed for our arrival. Spacious room with own shower room, large bottles of shampoo and conditioner supplied along with usual toiletries. Views of the garden from the room were delightful. The host, David was very friendly and provided a wonderful full cooked breakfast in the beautiful breakfast room looking out on to the garden. Will definitely return here if we need accommodation in the area. Highly recommend.…
