Very nice boutique stay, unit well appointed and very comfortable. Lack of a TV ws a little odd. No service to room for three days was less than expected.

Great break away. Peaceful and Quiet. Perfect for a couple to go somewhere out of the hustle and bustle of life. Out of town, yet close enough to go for dinner.

Lovely accommodation
I had a lovely stay at the signal box. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was gorgeous and the shower nice and powerful. There were fresh flowers in the room and a bowl of fruit from the orchard. And of course, the amazing view!
