Spot on

Very accommodating - we were only down for the night to attend a wedding. Allowed us to check in early and use the room to get ready before being picked up to attend. Great breakfast the following morning and had a lovely chat which came with recommendations of local things to see and do before we headed home. Also allowed us to leave our car there whilst we explored the area for a bit before we left.

Made to feel very welcome during a two night stay from first crossing the threshold. Thank you. Five stars. Two pretty grey days so didn't really see the outside of the house at the best time, but looked well kept. Easily within walking distance of the town centre - just travelled by public transport - and the location suited well.
