Elsa and Derryl are wonderful hosts. We spent a very good time in Yellowwood Cottage, which has a lot of space for us. The food (breakfast and dinner) were excellent. As it was quite cold (end of May) we were provided with an open fire, electric blanked, heater end even a hot water bottle was waiting for us in the cupboard. The kitchen is well equipped for selfcatering. We enjoyed our stay there very much. Thank to the two ladies!

owners - Elsa and Darryl - were very friendly and most accommodating. Made fresh muffins to go with the large English Breakfast. We were able to sit on the back lawn and have our little wine & cheese party, before going to the Pub for dinner. Pub was excellent also. Ed Blackmore
