A lovely place and ideal location.
A lovely place and ideal location. I only have 3 for cleanliness as it was dusty in the living room and there was bits of debris in the grooves on the dining room table. The bedrooms were really comfortable and clean.

We parked the car on arrival and never used it again,so many walks from the door.A welcoming pub ‘the ship’ a pleasant stroll along the old railway,just cross the road and walk past the old miners cottages.Just an unpleasant welcome was several very smelly bin bags by the gate,not a good impression.
