We were lucky to find the house available for 3 nights which suited our family. It was perfect for our family holiday with all grandchildren. the house was spacious and attractive and very well equipped with everything needed. It was very child friendly! The garden and grape filled conservatory were very nice features. The owner was very welcoming and had provided very nice flowers and fruit, tea and milk and cakes and a sparkling celebration wine in an ice bucket. My only adverse comments would be regarding the beds which overall were not that comfortable, although all nicely made up. The “wet room” would be better just as a separate toilet. The other 2 bathrooms were satisfactory and basins in the bedrooms were helpful. We all enjoyed the special Yawl House water. We had a very nice 3 night stay - thank you.

Yawl House is a delightful old building with 6 very good sized rooms. All bedding and towels supplied were of good quality. I might recommend either turning the mattresses and/or replacing them as several were quite squeaky. Plentiful hot water, large fridge, plenty of crockery and cutlery and a large larder meant food storage etc was no problem. Children loved the big garden and the grapes in the conservatory.A great time was had by all.
