Lovely country accommodation. We had the executive one bedroom apartment for the two of us and it was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of bed space! Clean, comfortable and warm. Alan was very accommodating and helpful. Easy walk to everything. Please visit this town and help out the locals. Would stay again.
