    Beautiful property, loved the ‘little touches’ like the robes & the breakfast provisions. My partner worked from the studio during the day - such a lovely location to spend a day in front of a laptop. Easily walkable into town.

    Historical buildings and site, clever and stylish interior design. Warm and cosy interior ... beds, shower, and amenities were ideal. Location on top of a hill and sun movement throughout the day.

    Everything! It greets you with a ‘Phew! This is great ‘ Not overcooked but it has charm, the Turkish floor rugs, a few interesting bits and clever use of space. Plus an inviting garden to sit and share a meal.
