We had the best weekend and despite the weather we had the most relaxing time. The property is spacious and very comfortable. A home from home.
Julie
Very clean and well maintained. The bungalow has everything you could need for a great holiday. Wonderful setting with great views and so well placed to easily explore the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Williams is always so welcoming and kind. The Marshes has everything and more, I love waking up and watching the cows in the meadow and again in the evening going home. It has the perfect location, not too far from the town but also good for adventures we managed to see so many new places all within 1.5 hours away. Canât wait to go back, already thinking of where to visit next for when I stay at the Marshes. Thank you Mrs Williams
