A lovely cottage that had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The little extra touches were welcome eg a bottle of milk, vase of greenery. The quiet atmosphere and view enhance a real holiday break from home pressures.

Village Family Motor Inn
Unfortunately the bedrooms were downstairs and the bathroom downstairs. Due to a medical condition I am not able to manage stairs and ended up sleeping on a very uncomfortable sofa. The unit was infested with insects, some of which were bed bugs.
