Lovely little guest house, set back against woodland. Room was clean and tidy and very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, with a varied choice. The Unicorn bar and restaurant just a few minutes walk away was very friendly and served beautiful food. Will definitely be returning and would recommend :)…
