We absolutely loved our stay at Oak Villa. The hamper that greeted us on arrival was so thoughtful and even our dog got some treats! The house was set up for Christmas, and there was even a present under the tree. Very impressive and greatly appreciated.The hot tub was an added bonus. It’s just by the back door on the decking, so easy to get to even in the rain in December! Robes, slippers and flip flops were also provided, which was perfect. We will definitely return to this lovely, comfortable house!

we stayed at 1 The Villa to attend a wedding at Clearwell Castle. The property was perfect. It had Christmas lights which made it extra welcoming. The house is very well equipped making it a real home from home. The only item we couldn't find was and ironing board and iron. but a quick call to Jon and he brought one through immediately. There was a very generous Welcome basket which was very much appreciated. Thank you for having us!
