Owners lovely and helpful, many thanks.

The owners were easy to contact if we required any help during our stay. The only small additions we could think of were a peeler/masher for the kitchen and advisement on what the owners would like us to do with the recycling/bins. I have already recommended Manor Farm cabins to friends and family as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
