This is not an easy one to place. Top-end mainly and with more than a hint of “wow”, but with some edges that are not smooth (and some may say, that it is better for that). Maybe fits into the shabby-chic bracker.||||5 minutes up a winding, and at times steep, single tracked road, is this large converted stone farmhouse, where you will be greeted by Eva – the charming, helpful, owner manager – if you can find the entrance. You may also get barked at by Trinny who in fact is a warm and friendly dog. ||||The location is green, rural, tranquil. The house has just five rooms and a small semi-detached guest house, and most of the time there are no staff present – there is an honesty bar and most other things you need to look after yourself, though Eva lives in part of the house and is available if needed., though occasionally hard to track down |||| Care and attention has been paid to the tasteful and calm décor, everything is unique, vintage and antique (from furniture through to taps, with wide aged floorboards and beams), though with modern standards so that all works well and there is high quality fresh linen and towels. There are no TVs or radios in the rooms (though there is a TV room with large flat screen TV and DVDs). The pool is pretty, in a spectacular spot, but a bit too short for length swimming. |||| I would strongly recommend dining here more than once. The cuisine is special. There is no choice of menu (though Eva will cater to food preferences). We had four course meals on three nights – each different, beautifully prepared, in local style but with innovation. The breakfasts buffets had a wide healthy and local selection.||||There are too many unique things about this place to do it justice - go and enjoy the pleasant surprises, but possibly not one for those with OCD!
