If you are reading this then you are considering booking, I wouldn't hesitate any longer as you will definitely enjoy the experience. It is a small family run concern with Elaine and Ian at the helm and Par the Swedish chef (not mad.....but does have a great sense of humour) in the galley and charming Estrella and Isobel keeping the decks clean and they all do a fantastic job in their roles. Not quite sure why I'm using a nautical analogy probably because I've just booked a cruise!
The property is unconventional with all rooms having their own 'front' door to the outside, which gives a sense of privacy. Inside the rooms are rustic but elegantly soft furnished with good quality linens, dark oak furniture and quality bathrooms. All a little bit different some with large Jacuzzi bathrooms and private terraces (we stayed in room 9 & 10). The location is rural and unusual which makes it all the more interesting and very well placed for touring the surrounding sights. The food is fantastic and punctuated by themed dining nights. Elaine and Ian also support and promote local artisans and hold regular markets, wine tasting, arts and craft fairs and many other events which are not only applaud-able and generous on their part but also entertaining for their guests and locals living nearby. They also hold themed weekends and bespoke holidays for Bikers, Bird Watchers, Wine Buffs, Trekkers and Children...there's a fascinating Alpaca Farm nearby owned by a charming couple Nigel and Ginny. You will meet the locals as they regularly use the excellent restaurant and small friendly bar where you will also meet the rest of the family at some time (their three daughters and Elaine's Mum) .
I stayed for 25 glorious days as my husband works for Aston Martin and was part of a contingent booked in and supporting an event held at the nearby Ascari race track. While I was there I saw the comings and goings of many different nationalities, and, Elaine and Ian are English speaking, French speaking and Spanish speaking. They will undoubtedly make you feel welcome and ensure you have a great memorable holiday.
