    This is a friendly place with chatty and helpful owners. It is quite idiosyncratic and memorable (the diningroom could have come out of a stately home) but all in a good way. The owners Rupert and Karine are always helpful.

    Very peaceful location, no traffic sounds at all. Lovely old house with original big rooms and beautiful antiques, glad they haven't tried to squeeze in en-suite bathrooms. Lots of character. Very friendly hosts, and a really good breakfast.
