Just had a really enjoyable week here during the hottest days of June. The hosts were nice and friendly who we had some nice talks with, very knowledgeable about the area informing us of places to see. It was only a short drive into Stratford on Avon so any shopping or meals were easy to access if you don't feel like cooking. Really nice place to stay with plenty of peace and quiet but with plenty of amenities close at hand.Thank you very much.
