The Milking Parlour had everything we could possibly need during our weekend stay. We were greeted with a homemade Victoria sponge, chocolates, bottled water and milk! We are looking to book again for next year! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
Linda
Great space for the whole family of adults to live comfortably. Games room needs some tlc and would be better if heating had worked but nothing else probably one of the best christmas houses we have rented.
