My only gripe was the noise from the extractor fan in the bathroom and the weight of the duvet. The duvet has got to be the heaviest I have ever experienced and I struggled to sleep due to the weight. I could imagine in the winter when the weather is cold it would probably be very welcome but it was a nightmare in the summer. Overall these did not distract from a lovely break.

Thank you. There was not a lot of space in the bedroom and a tree obstructed my view of the cricket, but there is not a lot you can do about either of these things. We were very grateful for such a pleasant visit.

Probably the best thing about it is the location - so close to the main street yet quiet and secluded. The views from the lounge and bedroom are lovely, and it was also lovely to sit out on the 'balcony' looking down into the town. Free parking was an added bonus. Yes, it is very compact! It's a shame there's not a little more room at the far side of the bed. Nevertheless, the bed was very comfortable and everything we could possibly need was provided. Thank you very much for another lovely stay. We have already booked again for next year! Joan and Ian Gibson
