We stayed for one night. The room was very clean and the en-suite was nice but without separate shower, which was a shame. The bath took around 10-15 minutes to fill enough for us to get clean.  …

Julia and John are such friendly hosts! Lovely, spotlessly clean room, nice cooked breakfast. They directed us to the local pub for our evening meal, and even provided a torch for our walk back in the dark. Would definitely return here again.

We stayed for one night and Jules and Jon are the perfect hosts. Room large and airy with good en-suite. Breakfast overlooking the garden was brilliant. Great location and great accommodation. Even had a tour of the garden before we left.

we were greeted on our arrival by our hosts. The room was very clean and big. The breakfast the next day was great and we did enjoy our 1 night stay. The only downside was that there was no seperate shower or even a shower curtain above the bath. Had there been then a 5 star rating would have been appropriate
