It was even better than the photos and exceeded our expectations." - "The breakfast was over and above our expectation Hosts were exceptional couldn’t be more helpful Rooms were spotless and other facilities gresy"

- "Superb superb superb" - "Loved the decor and the attention to detail. Amazing breakfast!" - "Exceptionally clean, beautiful decor, the breakfast was fab, staff were extremely helpful, friendly and went above and beyond for us, nothing was too much trouble." - "The property is beautiful, inside and out. Every room is decorated to a high standard, and feels expensive! The garden has a natural and ‘fairy-like’ feel, but is well maintained, and so relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, we slept very well for the 4 nights we stayed. Their dedication to the environment, being sustainable, recycling, locally sourced produce etc. is a lovely touch. There is a great selection for vegetarians/vegans/other dietary requirements at breakfast - this is certainly not an afterthought like many places I have been to, and is one of the reasons I chose to stay here. Meat eaters (like my partner) will also never go hungry - the sausages and bacon received rave reviews. The hosts are extremely attentive and genuinely seem to love what they do. They are knowledgable about the area and can recommend many things to do in town and surrounding areas. From the moment we arrived, we instantly felt at ease and we were welcomed into their home with open arms."
