The bungalow is cosy and comfortable, the grounds amazing and the hosts welcoming. We very much enjoyed our stay, even if the weather was appalling! Would definitely recommend.

A spacious property situated within splendid setting of trees and lakes would by idyllic in the summer evenings. The property contains basic requirements but lacks homely touch. e.g. cushions. The shower, over a large bath, could be difficult for anyone with limited mobility. Milk as part of welcome pack would be appreciated. Situated down country lane but east to locate and very close to the main A12.
