“A very pleasant stay”
Pam and Denis were very friendly. We had a cup of tea and a cake on arrival. The house was very nicely and tastefully appointed. Breakfasts were very good; Denis set us up on the day of our departure as we had to leave early.

Spacious quiet room, beautifully appointed with charming hosts. It would have been great to see the amazing garden in the spring rather than winter when they were flowering.
