About the host

Hosted by Graham Doyles

Host profile image
I am over 60, and moved to the country to enjoy a nice quiet life. I take pride in my property and this shows in both the grounds and houses alike.

Why they chose this property

I moved to the area in 2002 and it seemed to be a nice location with the cottage surrounded by woodlands and loads of wildlife. After living here for a few years I got planning permission to build a second house on an elevated location on the property with spectactular views, which I completed in 2011. I feel it's a beautiful place for a rest and relaxing break for a large family with plenty of space in the woods and garden for children and big kids to play.

What makes this property unique

The house is well equiped with practically everything you would have in your own home. There is plenty of space in the house for the rainy days and over 5 acres of woodland and lawn for the sunny days. There is internet and smart tv but on the down side there is limited mobile signal, but then this could also be a bonus! (there is a landline available upon request).
