    A great setup with an outside room with everything you need for a Continental breakfast. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and warm. The on suite was clean and modern with a awesome shower I wish I could take home.

    Great having breakfast in the Summerhouse and bonus to be able to walk into town. Warm welcome from Hilary and was no problem to extend our stay, although would have liked some extra towels.
