What people say
It was a lovely interesting house set in a beautiful flower filled
rambling garden which guests are invited to explore. My room was bright
and cheery with fresh flowers, a comfy bed and everything I needed.
Sally, Chris and Anna were very friendly and on arrival I was welcomed
with a cup of tea and biscuits and invited into the guests' lounge
which had a wealth of local guide books and maps to borrow. The
breakfasts and 'optional' dinners were very good and guests sit
together at a long dining . all reviews »

Interesting property with atmosphere, home produced ingredients for
catering, lovely dog! Weather precluded a look at the garden.
I had to leave to continue our holiday...I Would of loved to of stayed.
Need to follow website directions exactly rather than satnav necessarily, as it is a little off the beaten track. This is a warning rather than a criticism!.
Small bathroom area needs more lighting but nothing too much to worry about.
nothing to dislike at all.
N/A.
A little hard to find.
Breakfast was poor: I hate overcooked eggs; kippers also done to death.
En-suite was very "heath-robinson" with poor lighting; next
door to the property is a buidling site and there are ugly semi-derelict
farm buidlings on the lane outside the old rectory. Vehicle access is
challenging and I sustained some damage to my car. The proprietor was
utterly unsympathetic about this. Indeed, she completely ignored my
remarks on the subject.
