Everything. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The hosts were lovely and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They couldn't do enough for us! The location was ideal for local sightseeing and easy enough to navigate from driving further afield. We will book again!

Always a good bet staying here for an overnight stay, location is ideal. Very clean, basic room and comfy bed. Staff are very friendly too. We always opt for rear facing rooms as quieter at night.
