We were 2 couples and enjoyed our stay at The Maddox. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Lots of places to visit and walks from the barns. Would definitely recommend. It would have been good to know that the family bathroom only has a hand held shower in the bath. The description says 'Bath With Shower Over' and there are no photos showing the bath. Our friend's managed OK but my husband would have struggled getting in and out of the bath with his knee!

Just spent a lovely long weekend at The Maddox with family. The house is absolutely beautiful, spacious, very clean and well equipped. The owners were super helpful. The weather was awful (a tumble dryer would have been welcome) the hot tub was great and we used it every day. Plenty to do in the area and hope to come back sometime.
