    Would definitely recommend

    The garden has a bbq and plenty of seating with a fence round and are not overlooked. It is situated near to a marina where there is a cafe where you can enjoy watching the canal boats, which is also dog friendly. Although it is quite rural there are plenty of good pub’s within a short drive. I would recommend it and hope to return.

    The pictures don't do it justice. It was immaculate, spotlessly clean and gorgeous decor. Very well maintained, it looked like it was newly done up. 10/10
