On arrival we were left beautiful treats from the bakery, along with a bottle of wine and treats for our minature dachshund.
The garden was a delight with a table and chairs for all the family. The yellow seated area near the rose is a real treat to enjoy a glass of wine or coffee on your own.
All the recommendations are on a handmade map and we visted quite a few and we're very satisfied.
The local pub 'The Sun Inn' offers the most outstanding food and service. The chip shop around the corner also satisfied our taste buds. Both our children enjoyed the recreation ground court where they played football and basket ball. The surrounding houses are just stunning.
A 5* location and 5* hosts. We will be returning again.
