We finally got to stay at Denehurst Guest House, after Covid restrictions caused us to cancel in 2020. So glad we rebooked for 2021. We arrived after a long drive to a warm welcome from Ken and Cindy. Their home is warm and welcoming. Our room was a good size, with ensuite bathroom, plenty of storage, lovely decor and the addition of the Teddy Bear on the bed is a great touch. Before we arrived we had asked for recommendations for restaurants, in order that we could pre-book. Ken and Cindy were very helpful with this and any other questions we had. During our stay they had plenty of useful information
