Practically perfect in every way! We’ve stayed in a lot of places and this ranks right up there! Despite the location on a busy road, once inside you’re treated to an oasis of calm and tasteful tranquility. The owner really has created the perfect home from home, a perfect balance between a personal touch and a perfect holiday escape. Communication was excellent too!

Chapel

Same house lovely would have been very nice to have seen the owners either when we got there or before we left Garden not great didn’t like going along the main road in my pyjamas to let them out. Nick missed not being able to see out of the windows and not having a back door too much trouble to take stuff round to the garden where every day there was a shotgun set off in the mornings. Drove the dogs mad. I would definitely recommend the house for somebody that doesn’t have dogs
