“We were 2 couples (family) the accommodation was spacious and comfortable.”
The property is above the village shop which had a good stock. It also served as a small cafe. The only issue which disappointed us was the lack of a village pub the description states 0.4 mile. I believe there was a social club somewhere but we didn't find it. It should be noted that the lanes in and out of the village are very tight and to be honest don't expect to get anywhere quick. We were lucky the weather was wonderful so the lanes were dry, not sure what they would have been like in a normal winter. Saying that after a couple of days I sussed out the best routes are not what Satnav thinks they are! We had a great week, probably suited to fitter people thann us who would have appreciated the local walks. Villagers were friendly.
