Pros: The building is lovely. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed. We were surprised and delighted that in addition to the two large en-suite bedrooms we also had the use of a very cosy sitting room, heated by a log-burner. Breakfast was freshly cooked and first rate and our hosts were very friendly. We ate our evening meal in the bar; there was a wide selection of very tasty, reasonably priced food available and we ate well.
Cons: The wi-Fi reception varied from room to room, probably due to the thick walls of an old building. This was not really a problem for us though as we were on holiday and did not need anything urgent.
