Rating: 5/5 Published Comment: 'The property was in a main street (easy to find) - and the street was not at all busy. Our husbands found the local watering hole very amenable....the history associated with the building was fascinating. The facilities were great (all mentioned by other guests) and we found the outdoor area lovely for a quiet drink at the end of a busy day.'
