There is an easy country walk into Lyme, across the road, with beautiful scenery and is a pleasant start to the day. We would definitely stay here again.

nice to have a choice of outside areas to sit in and enjoy the evening sunshine. Thank you for the very generous welcome pack with lots of local goodies! The pub just over the road provided us with some very pleasant meals!
