What a great place. Loads of history but with all the comforts needed. Tastefully decorated and furnished to suit the character of the place. Even a warm loaf of freshly baked bread was provided by the lovely hosts.

− Nothing at all to complain about.

Steve was very nice when we met. They have us a load of fresh baked bread that was so wonderful, along with milk, eggs, butter, and jam. The house was superb and reading the history that was provided was a lot of fun. Would definitely stay again!

Go back to school, it's well worth it.

10.0

To put it plainly everything, the "School" was fantastic, everything was provided, I received a loaf of hot homemade bread on arrival the fridge had milk and condiments for the bread. Coffee, tea and the rest were there, but he best thing for me was that there were large coffee mugs in the cupboard, and that is not common. Over all I'll give it 98%.

− I'm not a small guy, the shower however was built for small guys. It still worked without a glitch, it's just tight.
