Amazingly clean, homely and perfectly appointed with everything you should need for a very comfortable stay. Perfectly situated to explore the area, and plenty of places to eat and drink with a lovely pub within walking distance although take a torch and maybe a hi-vis if youre going after dark as drivers are a bit quick on the main road.
