"Lovely little gem of a hotel, set in a picturesque village. Friendly welcoming staff, light and airy reception area and beautifully clean and spacious rooms (we had a double). Lots of towels. Tea/coffee and homemade cakes/cookies were complementary. I highly recommend the cookies as they were chocolate and coconut and were absolutely delicious. Buffet breakfast was good and varied. We loved the place so much we stayed an extra night and would love to go back one day."
"Inledningsvis hade vi några problem med rummet men tack vare fantastisk personal löste sig allt och vi kände oss så uppmärksammade och betydelsefulla som gäster. Maten var fantastisk och spat var underbart. En fantastisk vistelse och vi kommer tveklöst tillbaka."
