Lucie's digs are brill, lovely and warm, and the setting is great.

Lucie and Paul were very welcoming, as was Sam the little dog, who after about 3 minutes of panic, realised that new people just mean more head scratches.

The room itself is great, well placed, and the bed / pillows are exceptionally comfy, it does make it slightly harder to get up...

Will definitely try to stay here again in the future!
