The setting was perfect- tranquil, with far reaching views and lotsofwild life activity. The accommodation was comfortable, and very well equipped for our self-catering stay. There are good walks nearby and lots to visit a little further afield. The hosts, Sue and David, were considerate and so welcoming. Thank you for the delicious cake, the flowers and your hospitality! The nearby pub, The Bell at Tillington, serves very good food. We are looking forward to returning in the future.
