“Excellent ”
Splendid b&b. Spacious room, comfortable bed. Linen and towels high quality. The owners are trying to use as little plastic as possible, for instance fresh milk in glass bottle in fridge.
Breakfast delicious with fresh fruit and great choice of jams etc. Also not in plastic but in glass jars. Well done!
