Lovely location and lovely property. Great communication from owner. Would recommend.Review dated 25/08/2013
A really lovely property and a terrific location. We would book this property again.Review dated 31/08/2012
This is a wonderful property for families with small (and older) children. The kitchen/dining area and garden are particularly child-friendly, and the mill pond in front of the house provides plenty of duck feeding opportunities. The owners were very helpful from booking and throughout our stay.Review dated 28/07/2011
