The best thing would have to be our host Derrick where nothing was too much trouble, always on hand if we needed ANYTHING but left us to our own privacy, if only we could have bottled him up and taken him home. Full recommendations from us, try it I promise you will fall in love with it. Thank you for having us x

Derrick was so lovely, super helpful and set the wood fire hot tub going whenever we asked him to , what a perfect service! A great pub was recommend to us to eat at and nothing was too much trouble. We had a Very peaceful and relaxing stay, gorgeous grounds very private and self contained with a beautiful river at the bottom of the field. âLots of walks around and a very cute sitting area and bathroom, we could of stayed so much longer we loved the cd player and great taste in music! If you want a peaceful cosy get away to switch off from everything this is the place to go canât wait to come back!

Had the full benefit of having a wood burning hot tub, wow it was amazing. Host was brilliant and really friendly as well as welcoming. If you want to get away from it all then book this place, stunning countryside and a 5 minute drive to shops. The facilities enable you to cook food whilst on site. Also dogs are welcome and ours loved the space
