    The stairs to our room, a bit steep for the suitcase, so just took what we needed from the car and carried up the stairs to our room.

    Lovely garden setting with wonderful views of the valley and hills from our bedroom window, loved the bird feeder that attracted many different birds. Fabulous breakfast cooked by Lisa and plenty of variety. Good parking and easy walking distance to the town for restaurants and hotel dining.

    We have a suggestion that applies to all hotels. Elderly people need good lighting. It was impossible for us to read by any of the lighting available at the hotel.

    Good

    A delightful stay. Hosts were superb. Nothing too much trouble. Very easy going. Lovely comfy spacious room, Nice seating area with table & lamp under the window. Went on a golfing hol, There was plenty of space in room for all my clothes & clubs {when i needed to dry them off after rainy day on course}. breakfasts were delightful. Super garden views from our room. my wife and I enjoyed watching the birds & squirrels on the feeders in the well maintained gardens - from our room and in the breakfast room which has nice panoramic windows from which you get great views of the valley, as the property is on high ground. Fantastic morning mists. Definitely plan to stay here again next time we're visiting the area

    Being really picky and I do mean it because I'm used to a super king at home, the bed could have been larger than a standard double

    Warm welcome from the owners who were more than happy to share information about the local area but without being over bearing. The room was very clean and modern. The views over looking the valley and birds on the feeders made breakfast very relaxing. Good choice at breakfast with the full English being which is freshly made to order

    Nothing, everything exceeded expectations!

    The hosts were very friendly! Breakfast was lovely and the view when having breakfast is amazing! Mountains, birds on the bird feeder, what more is there. The room was amazing, water pressure was one of the best, even including a rain shower! We even had a booklet that gave us information of the area. Hosts even have recommendations on where to visit, the waterfalls were amazing!

    The three days were not long enough. ☹️

    Everything was great. The accommodation was wonderful, the hosts were marvelous and very friendly and the location ideal. The town, which is walking distance, had a number of good restaurants. We would thoroughly recommend. Veronica and Ray 😀👍
