Great little treat and very relaxing

The Snug was great for the two of us, well laid out, exceptionally clean with all the facilities you could hope for. Our hosts were friendly and nearby, should we have needed them. We'd highly recommend the property and it's location. We appreciated the welcome treats, thank you.

The Perfect Snug

Superb property, great welcome. Just across the road from the birthday party we were attending, we were lucky to book it before any other members of our family! Highly recommended - good centre for exploring the beautiful countryside, with plenty of great farm shops for a coffee break. Hope to return.

Two week stay

We have just stayed at this amazing place for two weeks, everything you need is provided and nothing is to much trouble. The owners were really helpful and very accommodating as we had to adjust our dates. They regularly asked if we needed anything. The accommodation is everything the photos portray, the location is idea for many activities and days out. We would recommend to anyone planning to stay
