Nice place to stay but...
Pretty location. Pleasant stay in a nice room in the annexe. Good breakfast and decent food in the evening.
The only issue really is access. It's in the middle of nowhere with steep narrow single track roads that are pretty treacherous and stressful in the dark and bad weasther.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Warm welcome from the friendly family run establishment.
We had 2 days of complete peace and calm. Food was great and breakfast sublime.
Sitting on the garden terrace was a real treat listening to the babbling brook and sounds of the wildlife.
Definitely one for those who want to slow down and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
