Wonderful house
It is a wonderful house, full of character, with gorgeous gardens and pool. Everything is well thought out, and games and toys left out generously for guests to enjoy. There are amazing views and watching the sun come up from the kitchen window seat, warm and toasty from the Aga was a real joy.

We will be back!
Unbelievable place. Stunning comfort with everything to make you believe that you are just at home. Someone has thought this place out very carefully. We will be back again in the near future. My only complaint is that the time seems to have gone so quickly; stunning views, wonderful comfort and a truly welcoming place to stay. Thanks very much.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
