The area was very peaceful and we enjoyed many walks with our dog straight from the door. The owner was very pleasant and was around if anything was needed. Thank you for the bottle of wine and biscuits. Oxborough Hall National Trust was worth a visit and there were good local shops.

This is ideal for a family with children or a couple. So peaceful and able to see the mares and foals. Lots of lovely places to go and explore, Beautiful country side. We were lucky to have wonderful weather which was a bonus. Would recommend a stay here for anyone and would like to think we'll be back next year.
