  • "We had an excellent stay in this lovely property."

    It had everything we could need; a well-equipped kitching and dining room, a large and very comfortable livingroom, and three large double bedrooms. It is located near the centre of Bishops' Castle within a few minutes walk of everywhere. We are keen to book again!
