  • Mrs Huetson

    Comfortable, relaxing. Great setting. Maybe garden sofa or bench , cosy seating definitely recommend.

  • Mrs Brown

    Lovely location ,very peaceful and pretty. Nice walks. But it’s not a secure site at all as dogs can get out and others peoples can get in under the fences. Beds lovely, fresh and comfy, shower nice and plenty of hot water .
