Beautiful home in a stunning location, very well equipped for a large group with plenty of space for everyone. The house was spotless and full of character. The owner met my mum and dad and showed them how to control the heating etc. Lovely welcome pack. The kids loved the outdoor space, plenty of walks from the door. I highly recommend Parkers for families or groups of friends.

I booked two houses, Parkers and Brook House for a large group of friends. The houses were a couple of minutes walk apart and this worked very well. The houses were clean and well equipped. Kim, the caretaker, was fantastically helpful before, during and after the visit. A basket of complementary local goodies awaited our arrival, There were 16 of us in the group and everyone was very happy with the accommodation
