The house was amazing, just right for our needs. Community shop so lovely and welcoming too. We had a great relaxing time. One friend even rang the church bells with the villagers which she loved.Minor criticism a few pieces of cutlery and crockery short for a 3 course table setting. No table mats, no garlic crusher! All in all fabulous, golf and gardens and places to visit within easy reach. Thank you so much.

Lovely property, perfect for our multi generational weekend. Lots of space, very clean and a fully equipped kitchen. The children loved the garden and meeting Mavis next door. Good base for exploring the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon.
