James
The accommodation was as described, clean, very comfortable, and provided with all amenities and utilities needed. The location was ideal for exploring the lakes and not too far from local services, pubs, or restaurants. If you just wanted to relax then your own little garden was just beautiful.Our host were lovely and welcoming and would definitely recommend it.

So cosy and cute! Greatful for the pleasant stay and the owners are so lovely, Liz and Neil. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends we had such a relaxing stay and enjoyed the sunshine. The little ornaments dotted around were so sweet and every detail of the Japanese garden appeared well thought out. Hopefully returning in the future and possibly with our motorbikes! Thank you so much <3
