Mrs Flavin
Wagon Lodge is perfect in every way. It is better equipped than my house. It is so cosy and comfortable especially with the log fire blazing away. Bruce and Helen are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them if you need help in any way. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with a lovely garden.

Beautifully kept barn with all facilities necessary to have a pleasant stay. In fact, we felt so at home we would have stayed indefinitely . Great walks straight from the house albeit quite muddy, though to be expected end of October! Wonderfully quiet and beautiful views. Bruce gave us some great tips and ensured we had everything we needed. A great time....

Just the loveliest place and so well maintained. Tucked away on the farm with just the cows and the birds, glorious. The hosts couldn't be more helpful as friendly and nothing too much trouble. Our fifth visit and we will always come back.
