The owner is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for her even to giving us a weather update before we set off for Childswickham (it was snowing that day). We arrived to find tea, coffee, milk and even a bottle of wine waiting for us which we appreciated very much. Couldnât fault anything about the property and our stay. Would fully recommend.

Little Padley had everything needed for a comfortable stay, was spacious, clean and well equipped. Jo the host was friendly and shared her local knowledge with us. Local pub a 10 minute walk from the property where we had a great meal. Plenty of grass around and areas to walk a dog. Would highly recommended this stay for with or without a dog!
