  This is a real gem of a place, the hut is surrounded by farmland and a wonderful, unspoilt look.

  Based at the end of the owners garden, it is secretly placed amongst a small orchard in an extensive green space, easily the length of a football park. Peace and quiet is guaranteed. Throw away those phones, bring your books and relax and take in the sounds of the countryside. There is a resident pigeon and game birds are running around the adjoining fields. Take a seat at one of around 5/6 , seating areas, all with great views of the surrounding hills. At night, enjoy sipping a coffee, wine or beer at the front of the hut, lit up with solar lights. Inside, the hut has everything you need for a weekend away, or like us, a full 7 nights. A Comfortable bed awaits, with a log burner for those colder nights. The surrounding areas have an abundance of places to walk why not take in go ape, walk, cycle or zip slide around the forrest. Many restaurants and pubs nearby. Plough Inn - 3 courses for 12 quid, or for 20 the largest steak you can eat. Sunday lunch at the Running Horse is a must. If going out and about, the steam train from Kiddiminstet is a real treat. Finally, find better hosts, please let me know, Pete and Donna were excellent hosts - full of useful information for outings - helped us with our weekly intimacy. Great folks, great place, we will be back.

  A fabulous retreat in a beautiful setting ideal to relax and switch off for a few days.

  Very dog friendly with an enclosed garden that was very safe and a place to wake up and watch the wildlife, we did see Deer and foxes each day. The cottage is beautiful very comfortable with high quality furnishings that were very new. The open fire was lovely especially during November but the cottage also had a great heating system too. A real home from home is very true. Many lovely walks on your doorstep or a very short drive away such as Daventry country park and Badby woods and the Holly bush inn pub very close walking distance. We also found a local farm shop in Eydon called Dodds manor farm where we bought local steaks and cooked them back at the cottage, delicious! Lucy the owner checked all was good as we arrived and was there if we needed anything but we didn’t had she had also kindly left milk and biscuits for the tea and coffee provided. Amazing cottage and we will definitely be back

  What a lovely cottage/lodge to stay at.

  The location is very peaceful & relaxing, has local fresh produce stores and a supermarket for any necessities. The actual lodge itself is very modern & very well looked after by the lovely owner. There’s a patio area with a hot-tub, table and seating for 2 along with customisable mood lighting which is a very nice touch. Both TVs are fully functional and connected to WiFi & have all the modern apps for shows/films. Bathroom is very clean & the shower is very modern with great water pressure, also provided home-made soap on arrival!!! Fridge & overall kitchen was spotless and a massive bonus for providing biscuits, butter, milk, jam & all the necessary cutlery & crockery. Amazing experience overall & I will definitely be returning with my partner.

  Tiles to kitchen floor cracked, loose and extremely slippery to dogs, not suitable.

  Conservatory tiles much better. Bedrooms small for doubles. Shower head not secure Front door lock difficult to lock and unlock. Conservatory door difficult to open. Cobwebs to conservatory ceiling Door nobs to wardrobes loose. Trickle vent to main bedroom window was broken when we arrived. Lots of leaves to garden that kept getting brought in to house. Some lights to garden did not work. Main bin outside full to top. 4pm late arrival not suitable, 2pm at latest would have been much more acceptable. Bed very comfortable. Tea, coffee and milk a nice touch as property is remote. Property overall is nice and peaceful but slippery flooring to kitchen prompted us to cut short our stay as one of the dogs could not cope.

  We had a lovely week in "The View" We have stayed in a lot of rental properties over many years and this has to be one of the best.

  It was very comfortable and the attention to detail was excellent. The view over the small lake was lovely and the wood beyond was a lovely place for a peaceful walk with wild deer. The location is ideal for exploring the area Although we had the most rain ever recorded for the week it was easy to get to local places. We visited Black country museum - Birmingham. Coventry motor museum. Stratford upon Avon, Litchfield. Warwick and there are National trust properties within easy reach, and we did walks along the canals when we had drier weather. If I had to sum up in a few words it would be "Peacefull and Tranquill" We met the owners who were lovely and were there if needed but did not interfere. Thank You
