A very tranquil and beautiful place where you can ‘get away from it all’. Yet the farmhouse was near and Den was friendly and helpful. I loved watching the canal boats go by, all the lovely birds around and the occasional hares. Although in the countryside there is plenty to see and do if that’s what you want
