Lovely homely place to pause for a brief time- fantastic use of the local produce for wine and cheese in the evening, and breakfast the following morning. Great hosts- thank you Melanie and Rex.

You can't beat a place like this to stay in Clyde, a hotspot for the sunshine. We had the most relaxing time and the place was immaculate. You will be treated like royalty with a beautiful breakfast out under the pagola with homemade jams, fruits from the trees around you and bread made by the wonderful host Melanie. We sat... More

Our stay was most pleasant and you have just a short walk to the historic core of the village to some excellent restaurants. A very quiet and tranquil secluded area to rest after... More
