This lovely little studio is clean and very well equipped with all that is needed. The property owners left us a little Easter treat which was a lovely, unexpected touch that made us smile. Location is very nice giving the properly great views. Ample parking space, however joining the main road from the property can be a bit difficult due to it being on a blind bend. We had no issues pulling out onto the road during our stay, just have to be careful. Highly recommended this studio.

Very cosy and clean cottage, we had a nice relaxing 4 nights. Penny and Nigel are very welcoming and helpful. We arrived late at night in the dark and Penny came out with a torch to show us the way round to the cottage. There is parking at the property, just off the road, could be a bit tricky for a large vehicle. We had a lovely stay and would love to return.
