Family were welcoming and enjoyed the company of the dogs and horses. Would definitely recommend as a place to get away, with lovely villages and places of interest in easy reach to suit all. Will hopefully return one day!

Well appointed with modern furnishings and appliances and very clean. Just a few little tweaks would have made it excellent, e.g. hooks in bathroom and bedroom, washing-up bowl, egg cups, gate latch. Also very good eyesight is needed to see the tv from the sofa!! An excellent location to explore the Cotswolds and the Stratford-on-Avon area.
