It is comfortable, with a bed you can ignore each other in. Comfortable seating, which is never big enough for us as we are total couch spreaders, but still the large footstool helps. The bathroom is great, I am disabled so the choice of giant barh or large shower was great. Total control heating which wasn't needed as the place is extremely warm. I don't cook, wash, iron on holiday but apart from.no washing machine it is all there for you. Apart from softer lights at the bed, we could not have been more at home. There is a local Fish and chip place, Pizza and pub choices who seem to favor pies. The choice is very good depending on your eating preferences, which wasn't ours, but we ate at anyway as everything is a short walking distance. We would return to this lovely place again. I am quite challenged and managed the stairs and everything was very easy for me. Well done to the owners.

50 yards from a real ale micro pub. 150 yards from a friendly Bistro/Bar. Local Chinese, Indian, Pizza, coffee shop and chip shops. Great base for touring the local countryside.
