Location is spot on and the garden space is a real bonus as well. Our kids loved the games left for us to use. Loads of information in the welcome pack for walks in surrounding area.

It was beautifully appointed, with everything needed for our stay. Although below freezing outside, it was so warm and cosy for a New Year break, in a pretty village with a friendly pub and with beautiful walks from the door. Many thanks!
