As others have said, a great place to stay, barns are done really well, views are lovely, woodland walk is a must to do, central for places to visit or if you just want a truely quiet relaxing stay, this is the place to come to, we have been coming almost every year, the only time we dont come is because our dates have already been taken, Mark and family are lovely people and we love seeing Barney, who enjoys a sausage ir two, through the dining area window.
