Birthday celebration
Great house for a small gathering of friends. Very well equipped and extremely clean. Lovely enclosed garden for BBQ which gets a lot of sun. The host was very helpful and accommodating with great information and instructions. Didn’t do any walks from the property but a short car ride is all it takes to find somewhere. Nice pubs in Eccleshall only a couple of miles away.
