We have stayed in Grooms Cottage and Barton Lodge and both were just amazing. We were a gang of 9 family and friends and the cottages and location were perfect for all ages from baby to Grandparent. There is a sauna and jacuzzi and a games room where many hours were spent with the inter-family table tennis championships! For the children there is a climbing frame fort and a trampoline. There are little animals to amuse and collect eggs from. There are bar be ques and fire pits to sit around in the evening. There are 2 lakes, one for fishing and the other to canoe on and play on. And the views
