Superb welcome from Tony the host. Homely ornaments in the accommodation complemented by paintings of local scenes by the co-host. Well equipped throughout and milk supplied for a cup of tea on arrival. Would certainly book again.

Perfect! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were just blown away and very happy. As a local, we just wanted a little getaway, and it was more than we could have asked for. How do you get your bath robes so soft!!??
