Wow! What an amazing place. We had the most amazing week here, we were so sad to leave. Such a lovely warm welcome by the owner when we arrived. There's so many places nearby to explore. We were recommended to go to Tarr Steps by the owner and so glad he did, it was so beautiful. I would highly recommend going to see the valley of the rocks and Sau nton sands too. Couldn't recommend this place enough, so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the owners are just so lovely.
