A perfect getaway
This was a little oasis of calm, just a few steps away from the village, and very central for all our needs. The accommodation was delightful, as was the garden. An incredibly comfortable bed. Just lovely. We live in a rural very quiet area, and were a bit concerned at first about the proximity of other houses and perhaps traffic noise, but honestly, we didn't hear a thing. Delightful independent shops in the village; beautiful walks from the door. Nothing not to like. We loved it, and thank our hosts for their highly professional and friendly hosting.
