Excellent accommodation, with every detail making it a home from home experience. The hosts are lovely people; warm and friendly without being intrusive. Cooked breakfast was amazing and very tasty.There is an old world charm to the whole place which is quite incredible as the building is actually not that old. I will leave your hosts to tell you why this is the case: a fascinating tale in its own right!

I stayed here on 9th March, I overshot the driveway so go slow and lookout for this wonderful place. A typical farm house warm and cosy. Had a perfect nights sleep after being told where the local eating places were. …

I've just returned after what was supposedly an overnight stay but ended up being 2 nights due to adverse weather preventing my safe journey back up north. …

Our son got married this weekend. Didn.t fancy staying up the road at the wedding venue. My good lady found this gem and we booked. (she would not take payment and based our booking on total trust, with us paying on departure). …
