We have loved every minute of our stay at Acorns. We have been visiting Acorns for 5 out of the last 6 years. The accommodation, location, scenery are perfect. But the icing on the cake are the hosts Rosie and Len, they make you feel so welcome.

The bungalow has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many places of historical interest a short distance away. There are villages and towns only a few minutes drive away with cafes/restaurants and shops to top up on supplies. The owners provide a useful welcome pack and are very friendly and helpful.
