A lovely secluded spot at the end of a garden. Surprisingly spacious inside and lovely to be able to help ourselves to the homegrown veg - thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved our week long stay at The Garden House. The location was so peaceful and the accommodation very comfortable. We were able to park our car opposite the entrance to The Old Forge which was very helpful. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of clean towels. We appreciated the milk and bottles of wine and beer that were provided for Read moreus in the fridge by our hosts. The kitchen is well equipped and we appreciated the tea, coffee and sugar which were provided. They also provided basic cleaning materials and tea towels. We especially loved the decking and garden, and being surrounded by tranquillity. Our hosts were very attentive, and eager to provide us with anything we needed, including some freshly picked vegetables from their own garden, but who respected our privacy the rest of the time. We visited some nearby towns and beaches, both on foot and by car and would love to return sometime. Thank you Phillip and Anne Hide
