Fantatsic location - peaceful, relaxing and quiet.

Superb walks straight from the door with excellent pubs within walking distance. Lovely comfortable place to stay with excellent facilities. - endless supply of wood for the log burner is an added bonus! Listening to the Owls at night was magical.
