We only stayed at the guesthouse for 1 night and the family is very welcoming and nice, but the room could do with a good clean and some new bedlinen. It was all a bit too old, worn and tired. Breakfast was ok, but we have had better. It's a shame because the location is great and the people too!

The 18th century farm house has lots of character, and the rooms are accented with antique and vintage furniture. The hearty breakfast included delicious homemade rhubarb sauce - something I hadn't tasted since my childhood.... More
