    Wow, were do we start! The views, the home from home feel, the swimming pool & hot tubs, the holiday home was large enough to keep us all under one roof and allow us to all be together, which is rare, as we live all over England & Wales! The 2 family suites were brilliant for the larger family parties, with teenagers! The single beds were a touch on the small side but the lads were all over 6ft tall! The house was beautifully clean, it was built in 1590! The home was lovely & warm, very cosy. We split the house cost for the 2 night mid-week stay between 14 adults & it came to only £80pp! We came for a joint birthday celebration for mine & my daughter's 21st! We dressed in T-Rex costumes, we havent laughed so hard in years! My son & his friends enjoyed the fishing, caught a large Rainbow trout! Tony & Viv the owners, were so welcoming, friendly & we'll definitely, be back! Thank you so much, Heidi & Harriet & family!
