Excellent accommodation and lots of thought put into making it a home from home. The Welcome pack was the best we have ever received and was a lovely touch as it did make us feel welcome. The owners were also very helpful with places to visit locally. If you want a relaxing peaceful holiday please consider Rainbows End.

A lovely place to stay. Well equipped and furnished with thoughtful touches. Welcome pack and local info supplied. Owners extremely helpful and on hand if you needed them. A lovely quiet area to stay in. Shame we could not use the garden as much as we wanted as the weather was not that great, but you cannot have everything! Would recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway break.
