We had a wonderful stay at the Duck House. Margaret and Roberto were lovely hosts. The property is in such a peaceful, quiet location overlooking fields. Because of its rural location then there isn’t really anything within walking distance. However we knew that when we booked and for us the peace and tranquillity outweighed the convenience of a local shop. There is a local pub about a 5 minute drives away, that does great food. Fitter guests may be able to walk there but we didn’t want to risk the dark country lanes. The cottage is spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. I know certain items were removed due to covid and I am sure when these can be reinstated, they will enhance the property even more. The only thing that could do with improving is the outdoor furniture which is showing it’s age. We didn’t get a lovely welcome pack that was shown in the website photos but we did appreciate the eggs and Prosecco. Margaret also offered to give us milk if we didn’t have any (which we did). We would definitely stay in this property again if we were looking to stay in the area
