A truly lovely, pristine and stylish B&B!! All the tips and advice we were given were invaluable often over a very decent breakfast (including some home grown produce!) It had it all, a great location, very comfortable, impeccably clean and friendly hosts. Just bear in mind one of the rooms isn't en-suite. Would definately recommend and would love to return!

John and Carol are the ideal host's to ensure your stay leaves you wanting for nothing, also their local knowledge was superb very helpful we arrived on the weekend of the national garden scheme with the whole village being welcoming and friendly.

April Thatch is an idyllic place to stay. Set in beautiful surroundings, it was the perfect base for our walking and cycling adventure. The room was lovely and very spacious, in fact the whole cottage was gorgeous, displaying some wonderful exhibits of the owners artistic talents. Thanks to John and Carole for making our stay so enjoyable - Ian and... More
