- "Mark and Karen were most welcoming and ensured we had all we needed. Our room, along with the rest of the property was very comfortable but also stylishly furnished and decorated in furnishings which totally suited the age of the house, yet made us feel at home.. The breakfast couldn't have been better, all home produce and freshly made. The fluffy towels in the en suite and the robes provided were a welcome touch as was the fresh milk for the room.. The little treat of hand made chocolates left in our room was also an added luxury. Location was great as close to places to eat and little shops plus parking available at the back."
