Very good

On the whole a nice property, we encountered a few problems, Internet was poor , the tap in the kitchen didn't work, but still had a very pleasant stay, and would return, cold do with someone definitely return
Lovely quiet place, perfect for a peaceful break. Very clean everywhere, comfortable beds. Easy five minute walk to a supermarket. Generally everything you need.
There were a few negatives. The stairs were steep and you couldn’t reach the handrail without leaning forward. Not for the unsteady on their feet, which would have been nice to know as both of us had trouble. The off road parking is really difficult to get into as the lane is too narrow. We ended up leaving the car out on the street as it was so awkward to get in. The front door needs pulling forward really hard to unlock, you needed to get the knack of it. Again, we wished we had known, as we did panic when we arrived because we couldn’t get in at first. No tea or milk left as promised but we found the shop easily.
Otherwise, it was great.
