Das Haus war toll und wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Wir haben das Haus als tollen Ausgangspunkt für unsere Tagesausflüge empfunden. Wir waren in London, an der Küste und auch rundums Ferienhaus.
Wir kommen bestimmt mal wieder...

Absolutely fantastic cottage!!! Only difficulty was we had our 20 month old and as the barn is on one level (also a bonus) we had to be super quiet when he was sleeping. Other than that we absolutely loved everything! The rooms were spacious and everything was catered for. The owner was so gracious and looked after us very well! Gorgeous views and fantastic hot tub! Our son adored the toys provided and had the best holiday ever!!!

An absolutely lovely place to relax and unwind whilst if need be, there are things to do for all the family.
This place has an amazing view.
