    Generous kind owners, beautiful room and home cooking. Delightful village, a wonderful stay, assisted with everything, d

    Very quaint, snug and warm with beautiful decor, and amazing service from the friendly owners who go above and beyond expectations. Plus they refunded my cancellation so I booked 2 nights once we were able to travel again.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Overall ok except for room size and dark ensuite.

    Breakfast excellent.

    Much brighter lights in the ensuite, was dark. Room very small. No way could have a bag open. Fortunately as only a short stay I didn’t need my bag as used other carry bags for my needs. Room basically ok for one person only.
