We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful location, with the perfect hosts Sue & Chris, with cows outside your bedroom window (if you wake up early enough), beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Bournstream is perfectly placed with lots to do locally. Although located just off the A39, it is surprisingly quiet.
