Restorative and comfortable
Lovely peaceful rural property. Very comfortable lots of little touches which we appreciated. Hosts couldn't have been nicer. I was surprised to find it was a downstairs bathroom as i hadnt noted it on the description. I bit tricky for those of us who need to go at night! However it didnt spoil our stay. The dogs loved watching the animals on the common.and easy access to woodland. Will definitely be returning

One of the very best properties we have stayed in.Jane and Malcolm, owners, were so lovely, couldn’t do enough for us, but left us to our own devices, as well. So homely, warm, comfortable, clean, one of the best ever places , allow dogs, which is a bonus, very reasonable rates, too, comfy beds, kitchen well equipped, very peaceful, lovely views, we will definitely book again, wonderful.
