The Oak was perfect us - 7 people / 3 generations. A beautiful, comfortable house with an especially fabulous, spacious and well-appointed kitchen. Gloriously peaceful location with plenty of walking on the doorstep but also a lovely, large garden for the non-walkers - with a barbecue and fire pit to enjoy at the end of the day. The Oak has everything. It’s definitely one of the best holiday homes!
