8/10 Very good

Although the property was old and in need of some remediation it was a very pleasant stay and Lisa and John were perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for you. The property was dated but this was in keeping with its surroundings within a listed village. The food was extremely well cooked and presented and couldn’t be faulted. The room we had was clean and spacious with everything you could need. All in all a very nice stay.
