I was made to feel very welcome. And as I wanted to go out for a few beers I asked Elaine if she could order me a taxi and she did and was helpful telling me where was good to go. A very pleasant stay

We enjoy making them feel welcome and at home, as do our two adorable dogs Digby and Ruby. We are a professional couple who pride ourselves on our impeccable service, and providing a warm welcome and comfortable stay. We love our comforts and little luxuries when we go away, so we provide the same for our guests. We enjoy our garden, socialising, making new friends, reading, cooking and we love animals.
