Interesting and homely place to stay, safe for the small children who loved it, hide and seek, tyre swing, garden to explore. Surprising easy access to the wonderful Castle just through the back gate. Wood burning stove made the roomy lounge cosy, kitchen fine, rooms with plenty choices that worked for us. Clean and well provided throughout, have no hesitation recommending a stay here.
