Hen House is easily found (watch for the sign on Eye Lane, it's just before Google Maps thinks it is) and on arriving you feel very secluded, but not in the middle of nowhere.

well equipped cosy place which allowed us to do the things we wanted - parked the car and did not move it for the whole week.
