D4v1dm4c United Kingdom

Great location - just off a main road but very quiet with excellent views from room over river valley and hills. Very convivial hostess. Nothing was too much trouble - cooked us a veggie evening meal on arrival. Amazing breakfast - substantial and spoilt for choice from very wide range available including superb local home made jams (we bought some before we went) and home produced eggs and tomatoes. Very good Covid measures - we felt completely safe.

Very friendly and welcoming, comfortable rooms. Beautiful location.
