  • Andrea

    Lovely and clean, well equipped and the guest book had clear instructions. We had parked just outside of the main gate and that was absolutely perfect. The surrounding area is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Ideal for cyclists as it is right next to a long cycle path. The steam railway station right next to the property was a bonus as we saw some great train going past it was stunning. We had a lovely time. Definitely reccomend.
