Kevin United Kingdom

Our room had a comfy bed, a great shower and was very clean. French doors onto the patio, where sitting in the evening with a glass of wine listening to the birds was lovely. Rural location with a great garden. Fantastic cooked breakfast and Ronica the host is very nice.

Colin United Kingdom

Got to say, that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ronika was a lovely lady and went over and above ensuring everyone was happy. Great breakfasts and the room was very welcoming and immaculate. Very friendly atmosphere, so all in all, had a great short break. We will most definitely rebook at a later date.
