Bethan, Ben and Dylan were so nice and helpful. They responded almost immediately when we had a small problem — our fault — and resolved the issue. The house and decor are are sweet and pretty, and location beautiful and calming. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

We were in what I would call the annex which was lovely as had our own garden area with table and chairs. Room very spacious and loved the decor. Bathroom a wee bit tired and does need TLC but clean. Breakfast lovely and lots of choice and receptionist (young lady with dark hair) was so helpful. Definitely returning.
