Dark haired lady on duty on our first night was lovely, friendly and very professional (apologies for not having a name). Contact via the app was good and the code access worked well. We enjoyed our stay.

    Modern, stylish and spacious accommodation. Generous provision of essential foodstuffs including continental breakfast. Quiet and secure environment (at least in January!). Host showed me round and explained things. Good clear instructions on recycling. Plenty of hot water, nice double shower, big comfortable bed, adequate wifi (it's a very rural location so you can't expect it to be very fast).

    Nicely equipped property. Place is just off the high street, but round the back, so nice and quiet. Has 1 parking space, I think..... it isn't well signposted, but I had no locals coming out shouting at me, so I assume it was all good. 😁 Bed very comfy, good bathroom. Host left us a complimentary bottle of wine and some milk for a much needed tea when we arrived, so all good. Kitchen well equipped too.👍

    Room standard was exceptional, whole guest house spotless. Breakfast - so fresh, plenty to choose from, daily specials a bit different too. Bottled chilled water and fresh milk - help yourself. Hosts would do anything they could to make your stay one of the best. WiFi just like being at home. Quiet but very central location.

    House was in a great location. Very close to shops etc. Lovely view of river and great walks along the river. So quiet and peaceful. Our dog loved his daily dip in water. Host was brilliant, very informative prior to stay with very helpful videos of how to get to property and gain access. House was very well equipped and well presented. Even the neighbours were very welcoming and friendly. Overall extremely enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
