    Great location. Secluded but within a short drive or walk to the main village. Quiet and comfortable. Adequate room to relax. Kitchen with enough appliances and kitchenware if you wanted to cook daily. Within good distance of good quality restaurants. Clean and warm with a good shower to clean up after a good stromp over the moors.

    The hosts were simply lovely…..they were very welcoming,gave great tips on what do and where to go. The room was spotless and beautifully presented, the bed was huge and I had a fantastic nights sleep. The breakfast was varied, the Greek yogurt and fresh fruit was lovely. On our last day we were given a goody bag of their scones which were delicious, thank you.
