Homely, welcoming hidden gem

Carrie and Howie were incredibly kind and hospitable hosts from the moment we arrived. Particular highlights were the very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and to be able to barbecue and eat in the garden. We left feeling very relaxed and restored. Would highly recommend this as a lovely place to recharge your batteries.
