A lovely place to stay, beautifully presented, clean and with very comfortable beds. The hosts are welcoming and friendly and the breakfasts are excellent. Would definitely come back again if we were in the area. It feels very Covid safe too.

We have stayed here so many times as it's family run, extremely clean. We are wanting a couple of days in August and due to covid19 I wouldn't think of going anywhere but here. Definitely recommend under normal circumstances but in the current situation recommend even more if you want to feel safe.
