Beautiful location, perfect getaway. Extremely clean with everything you could need. Super comfy beds and lovely bedding. Thank you for a lovely stay.The only niggle was that the sofas are a little uncomfortable.

Lovely weekend stay. Great location! Views are beautiful. Dog in heaven, she kept stopping to look at the view from the garden more than us humans.

Lovely place and area which is fantastic for stonehenge which has been on my bucket list for a long time. My only criticism is the insecure garden which put me on edge a bit as i have a chiweenie with intermittent hearing loss.
