It was a difficult holiday for the family as I had just lost my husband and the holiday was to celebrate our 60th Wedding Annivetsary in May so to stay here was a healing time for us all thank you

We stayed at the farmhouse - can't fault the accommodation, cleanliness & facilities. Both properties were absolutely stunning. Lovely river and countryside views. Great, safe garden for children and dogs. The hot tub was a bonus! We would all definitely like to go back again & highly recommend these properties.
Patricia
We only booked the barn, not the whole property, which sleeps 14. A wonderfully converted barn to a very high standard. Down a narrow lane but with wonderful views across the river. Peaceful location and everything that you could want in the barn by way of equipment. Responsive owners when we had a problem using the induction hob.
Wendy
Wonderful sunny week in an exceptional location. The houses were very functional and with fully stocked kitchens we were able to feed everybody together easily. The garden was really good for dogs and children and the play barn was a useful addition if a little tight for playing table tennis. Overall these properties suited our family well and we lRead moreook forward to coming again next year. Hide
