We both absolutely loved our stay here, from first arriving and walking through the door, the accommodation was beautiful, very clean and everything maintained to a high standard. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the best welcome pack weâve received, compared to other places we have stayed. A lovely touch with the hens eggs and the Staffordshire oat cakes too. We especially loved having the goats out the back of our property which they love ginger biscuits, also left in the welcome pack. Such a unique extra to have & we loved giving Dotty & Dora and the 3 babies their gingernuts each morning. The sofa was very comfortable when relaxing and enjoying a series on tv as was the bed too. The wet room was a welcome feature, which made it easy to change when using the hot tub and also for afterwards too. The underfloor heating was another lovely surprise too. We really enjoyed our stay, it had snowed when we arrived and an extra flurry when we were staying, which was really nice when enjoying the hot tub, relaxing and listening to the goats and birds in nature. We will definitely come back again when we are back up that way. I would highly recommend to anyone, it really is such a beautiful place.
