We had the pleasure of staying here for a week mid-Sept (2011). It is very comfortable with seemingly the best pillows in all of the UK (as compared to the dozen or so hotel stays we've experienced). The fireplace-heater added warmth and ambiance even though the radiant heaters in each room were more than sufficient. Toby, the owner, had local brochures and maps on hand and every spice known to mankind in the kitchen. Though we didn't need to dip into his food supply, he sweetly offered us pasta and sauce plus other items since we arrived so late on our first day. We were thrilled to have a washing machine and were grateful to Toby for supplying laundry detergent. His drying rack system is ingenious and works beautifully to dry clothes overnight. The apartment is filled with light during the day with skylights in the smaller bedroom and in the hallway. The internet connection worked flawlessly and quickly. Best of all, Toby himself is a delight. With his masters in art history, he would make an excellent and enthusiastic local tour guide and offered to show us around. We wanted to hire him for this purpose but couldn't get our act together in time to take advantage of the opportunity. I would *absolutely* stay here again and recommend it and Toby highly.
