Central heating provides cosiness if you're seeking a winter getaway and hot water is on tap. WiFi provided, plus linen and towels.

Roy and Sue the property owners gave us a warm welcome and were lovely.The bedroom as always cool which i loved. The bed was not that com.fortable however back home we have a super king premier inn hypnos bed so we have been spoilt. The double patio doors leading to the patio area was the thing i loved most as the weather was great so i sat outdoors most evenings and also during the daytime under the parasol shade. Sue has created and nurtured a beautiful outdoor living space . Archie the cat visited us most early mornings ##### Linda W.
