A lovely and well equipped house, our grandchildren actually cried because they had to leave. It was nice to be able to sit and chat whilst the children played in the barn. The toys and games where an added bonus. Nice touch with the flowers, eggs and fruit.

By far the cleanest holiday cottage we have ever stayed at. Lovely quiet location but we'll placed to go out and about exploring. Signposting around the woodland walk was really helpful and something other cottages don't do. Lively welcome and farewell from the owner.
