Fabulous place, clean, tidy and in a lovely location with views across fields, just down the road from Thrigby Zoo. The gibbons will welcome you every morning with their early morning calls! The owners are really friendly and have exactly the right balance between giving you space and being there when you need them. Couldn't wish for a better place to stay.
