We stayed here for our sons wedding this weekend. Everything was absolutely perfect (apart from the weather)
Tracey and Co worked very hard, and made us all feel so very welcome. The cottages were fantastic, and had everything we needed, warm and very comfortable! (And beautifully decorated for Christmas- as were the grounds)
The hot tub was a very welcome surprise, and towels were even provided for that too. The location was stunning! A truly magical weekend, and one we will never forget. Thank you Tracey for making our sons wedding one that we will continue to talk about for many years

Beautifully set out cosy barn conversion accommodation on a delightful setting of 40 acres farm. You will not be disappointed. The owner is most welcoming and really makes you feel at home. All you need for that perfect break....had we known it was this good we would have stayed longer ! Next time we will !

Absolutely stunning venue and cottages. We had our wedding reception here and all our guests stayed in the cottages. Everything was just perfect! Tracey and all staff were out of this world making our day go without a hitch and every little detail was just perfection. We will definitely come back and stay. If we could give it more than 5 stars then we would xxxx

I cannot fault Tracey, Peter and all the team at Country Ways, they certainly did us proud in hosting our daughters wedding, the place was beautifully decorated for an autumn themed Wedding, we stayed in the cottages for a couple of days everything was very clean and comfortable. Tracey certainly knows her stuff and nothing was to much trouble and certainly took away a lot of the stress, I highly recommend Country Ways.
