Such a wonderful, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings. Lovely views from the loft and of the adjoining fields and countryside.Watching the horses and other wildlife was a treat.The loft is comfortable, very clean and well presented. It provides for all your comforts. The outside seating area is perfect for morning tea or evening refreshments too.Pam and Trevor were very helpful especially when our car needed attention.We would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.
