  • "It’s a beautiful house I would stay again."

    They say there is two steps into house on listings but one step is lot high step. So if your motorbility isn’t very good bear this in mind once you are in house can’t fault it for moving around. Beds are lovely and comfortable. Gardens are fab so much space for a 3 year, 7year.11years to run around. When it’s dry, they have toys for children to play with in one room

  • "We had a beautiful stay in the home farm retreat."

    The house was beautiful and well kept. The children had so much space to run around and play in the garden! The highlights for us were the hot tub bath and the log fire! Marion was lovely and only a phone call or a text away. Will definitely be booking again in the future! Thank you!

Later, find the fully-equipped kitchen and result in a tasty meal that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table, be sure to reminisce on the cherished memories you have created so far before snuggling up in the second sitting room and putting on your favourite DVD.
