As we arrived we were welcomed by our host who was very helpful in recommending where to eat that night (we went to the brilliant Fish and Chip place a short walk away) and where to get a few beers too (the local bottle shop has a friendly pub attached where locals hang out:we joined them). On opening the door the music of Cat Stevens wafted through as did a lovely sandalwood essential oils (?) aroma. It was nice to arrive and feel welcomed in this way. This place is perfect for a couple like us ‘grey nomads’ as it is stylish and nicely arranged with interesting touches and features. The CD collection was much appreciated as were the quality bed linens, the soaps in the bathroom and the interesting books artwork and magazines. The kitchen area was well stocked with bits and bobs but what a surprise to find bread butter milk and apricot jam in the fridge- a nice touch indeed. The bed is very comfy with a deep sprung mattress, and a nice range of layered bedding and cushions. There’s even a heated blanket if needed. It was very quiet during our 2 night stay, and at night you could see stars from the bedroom balcony as there is no ambient light. Another couple was staying in the adjacent mirror version of our place but we never heard them. It’s a very private place despite being in the owner’s grounds. If you have mobility issues you won’t like the stairs but we were fine and loved the galleried design. We would highly recommend to other couples seeking a peaceful quality place to stay.
