We had a wonderful week at The Coach House. Helen and Nick were exceptional hosts. The house is beautiful, homely and brilliantly equipped. Our 3 year old loved the pool! We were able to swim every day, regardless of the weather as the pool temperature is warm. The surrounding towns were great to visit with beautiful scenery and lots of lovely places to eat out. We would happily return! Thank you!

Caves with the most dinosaurs i have ever seen on our day out. Went down a coal mine which was so good. Beautifull canel behind house. Massive garden. The kids did not want to go home.
