We hope we will be able to visit again. It was a great place to stay, everywhere was spotlessly clean and it was very convenient having two loos! The welcome basket was a great touch especially as we had a difficult journey and arrived very late but could still have a cup of tea and a glass of wine. Having a pub so close was an added bonus.
