Absolutely amazing place to stay!! Would highly recommend. Had everything you could possibly need and was of an extremely high standard. Lovely welcome basket for us and for the dog. Even had a towel and bowls for her to use.

Bright and airy accommodation. Lovely and clean and with everything you could possibly need for a short or longer stay. Bedrooms with ensuit are a great size with plenty of room to move around. Becky and Chris are great hosts, communication leading to our stay was excellent. If you love horses, this is an ideal place to stay. Dogs are also welcome. The welcome basket was fab, the chocolate cookies lasted about 10 minutes! Would highly recommend.
