Very cosy and quirky accommodation. It was exactly as described. Located in the lovely village of Codford, ideal to visit the Vale of Pewsey and lots of places. Some nice walks straight from door too. Would be happy to go back if ever we are in the area again.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genosen. Den Kindern hat das Dachzimmer und der große Sportplatz direkt nebenan gefallen und die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Region.
