What a little gem! We were tired after a long drive and the huge amount of space in our room, along with the lovely bath, meant we were very able to relax and unwind. Breakfast was superb, with lovely local choices, served by friendly staff, and we only wished we'd had more time to enjoy meeting the farm animals. Our quick visit to see the Clydesdales, accompanied by the dogs, was delightful though!

Everything was always tidy and ready for use. The owners provided contact information available for questions and were present enough that I didn't need to look for them. The area was very quiet and relaxing, perfect after busy crowded days in the city center.

The owner is super kind and helpful, the room has a lot of comfort (like a small fridge, a microwave oven, the espresso coffee machine) and the bathroom too has a lot of stuff that you can use. I loved the warm ambience and I felt like at home. The place is well connected by public transport and you can check-out at any time.
