Not happy being let down & not giving a reason. The only thing we can think of is they have sold the room for a longer stay. So think before booking this place. We were really looking forward to going & taking our lovely old cavalier dog with us.

A really charming and beautifully-presented guest house in a peaceful rural location. Our room was comfortable, homely and had a lovely view (with comfy chairs by the window so we could enjoy it - a nice touch!). …

Booked a room here for a family wedding a long time in advance. Week before wedding we get an email saying we have to cancel through booking.com because of personal reasons. We cancelled booking.. checked later and room was back on booking.com asking for more money.. not happy!!! Pure greed.. we struggled to find another place to stay but managed to find an air bnb bit further away but at a cheaper price.. thank you!!!!!!
