  • Felicity

    Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend to friends and family. It just needs a blind on the door of the down stairs toilet.

  • Antoinette

    The only snag was the creaky floorboard and a few kind of rivets on the mattress between the mattress and the cover found we took them off

  • Paul

    Everything we needed from a holiday house. Comfy beds, great showers, brilliant selection of toys and games for the kids. All in a beautiful setting and was lovely to see the steam train pass by a few times a day.
