Beuatiful conversion of an old church into a cosy comfortable holiday home. Warm and welcoming with a lovely dining kitchen in which we spent most of our time. Plenty of facilities in the village, and the Turkish restaurant is not to be missed.We had a wonderful weekend for our multigenerational family and dogs - and the garden is truly spaniel proof. Appreciated the hose and tap in the back garden for dog washing. Loved that the dogs were truly made welcome with decent seat covers on the sofas. Owner was also thoughtful to let us know there is a grape vine in the garden, and it was currently shedding and so left us a broom to keep sweeping them up so the dogs couldn't get them!Only minor niggle was that there weren't many wine glasses, but that did not detract at all from having had a great time and we hope to return again

What a lovely place. Perfect for a large group. We were a group of eight adults and two children. The only thing that was negative was the wood fired hot tub, which needed a lot of wood to get going, but was fine once hot.The house is beautiful and the garden perfect for dogs and children, as it is very secure.The village is small and quiet, with two really good quality pubs and a lovely Indian restaurant, all within walking distance. The mattresses in the two twin rooms were OK for kids, but really not suitable for adults. Over all a great place for a weeks holiday.

We loved this house: it was great for all of us, 3 generations and a dog. We caused a problem and the host helped us very quickly to resolve it and was very understanding. We loved how “easy going” the house was. There weren’t many rules to remember and trusted us to have common sense. One minor thing that could make this house even better would be a bigger kitchen table. There was 10 of us and it was a little bit of a squeeze. We loved that there were cds and dvds!
