We had everything we needed for a wonderful relaxing fun long weekend. The shepherd's hut was immaculate and extremely cozy. The hot tub and the outside cooking area was incredible especially after long walks and sightseeing. My husband and I have returned home well rested and very much look forward to returning again soon. Both our sons are looking to book as we had nothing but great feedback to give them. We would highly recommend this holiday/break to others. Nothing to fault at all. Breaks like this mean so much! Thank you very much David and Wendy. Warm regards Mr & Mrs Evans-Nicolle

Wendy and David are definitely in the latter category. They are open, friendly, and non-obtrusive. The accommodation was immaculate and we really enjoyed our 4-day stay in the peace and quiet of Grove. Counting passing satellites from a hot-tub is not something I do every day! We will be back soon.
