Guest Feedback Highlights
Guests have noted the location as great, the house as clean and well-made up, and the pool as a positive feature. Beds were reported as comfortable and the best sleep some guests have had in years. The house has old-world charm and character, with a fireplace in the living room available for winter use. Staff were friendly.
“It's a house that truly feels like home, with airy, character-filled rooms and a welcoming fireplace for cooler evenings. The garden and splash pool make it a delightful escape, especially for groups, and its central spot means you can walk everywhere.
This is a place I'd happily return to explore more.”
