Stephanie was able to provide us with the information we needed when we arrived. The trip was a mum break and we had an absolutely amazing time. We were able to relax and breathe in the beautiful fresh air around us. The views were lovely. The home was stunning. The weather was also on our side for the weekend. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. We were only able to use 1 shower as the other one wasn't working, there was a fault. There are a few little fixes that need to be made. But otherwise we had a lovely time.

We will definitely look to come back again! The only tiny negative is the shower in the main bathroom not having a holder - so it is difficult to use without making a mess.

The beds were comfy and there is lots of room for little ones to run around. The gardens are beautiful and there is a stunning view of the church and fields. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere when in fact you are a 5 minute drive away from Doncaster. There are lots of lovely National Trust properties within 30 minutes drive. On one of days we decided to go to York for the day on the train as it is only 20 minutes away!! It was fantastic. If you have little ones and itâs raining there is also a fabulous softplay next to Morrisons called Play Valley. Itâs clean and is ideal for toddlers and older primary-aged children.
