Would definitely recommend and we would love to return. The beds were super comfy and we enjoyed the task of heating the hot tub. The private lane was great for walking the dog and it was so peaceful. The accommodation was well equipped. We all had a very relaxed and great long weekend in fabulous accommodation. Thank you.

Had everything we needed. Only thing was hot water went off but I messaged owner and he remotely turned back on. My hangover went for a little while as had a cold shower but soon sorted. We are arranging to come back next year we enjoyed that much. Not far away from home but felt I was ages away. Thank you
