Reviews of The Old Manse
"House provided everything you could need. Very comfortable plenty of space so that everyone could do own thing. Parking was disappointing, unable to park car on drive very steep and only suitable for a very small car. Had to park on road outside where we had wing mirror totally destroyed no note left so turned into expensive visit. Planned to spend time walking dogs although many of walking routes have stiles so unless dog is a chihuahua or similar you can't lift dogs over them. We had a springer and an Italian Spinone so no chance!! "
