Wow, what a gem of a place this is. The photos are great, but you have to be there to fully appreciate how splendid it actually is.Alison and Dave are wonderful hosts, knowledgeable and on hand if needed, but otherwise respect your privacy. As soon as Alison became aware that my Mum was recovering from an operation, she thoughtfully provided a stool for the shower, which was really appreciated.There is everything you could possibly need and more. Plenty of storage space, hangers and extra touches like umbrellas and walking poles etc. The welcome pack was wonderful, you don't see many to that standard these days.The house and grounds are nothing short of spectacular... All rooms are very generously proportioned, and the garden is huge. A big space where you can get together as a family, but also plenty of areas to spread out if craving a bit of quiet headspace. The summerhouse and hot tub are a big bonus, it was lovely to sit out there enjoying the peace and a slower pace of life for a while.If, like for us, night skies are your thing... there was little in the way of light pollution, so we had some stunning views of the stars from the back garden.Thanks Alison and Dave fire a fantastic stay, just what we all needed. We hope to return one day soon. Sorry it has taken a couple of weeks to do this review.One last thing, if you book to go, make sure you read about the history when you get there, I won't give any spoilers but it was great to read.
