We used it as a base to visit nearby historical sites. The accommodation had everything we could possibly need. Lots of thought from the owners had gone into providing a very comfortable stay.

Very peaceful and the folly is well equipped and comfortable. It backs onto the forest and within minutes you can be in the woods. The owners are absolutely lovely and always leave a welcome pack on arrival which is a very nice touch and shows they care that you have a great time. Would recommend to any couples who want to get away from the hustle bustle of life...............
