The area is beautiful and we enjoyed hearing the animals and the surroundings at our accommodation. Burrowhayes is just around the corner for riding and the small shop - we also did the Red Stag Safari that was absolutely amazing. The farmhouse is just lovely. Jane has absolutely thought of everything to welcome you for your stay, even down to a cake, eggs and milk. We only used the fire once due to the lovey weather, but you even get a basket of logs, kindling and the other stuff involved included. There’s even two tubs of toys and DVDs for those rainy days. The beds are comfortable and it was spotless on arrival. Jane is amazing - we pegged washing out before a day out and she even changed it over for us. We will definitely rent the house again it was lovely.

If you are a light sleeper or require a city clean environment with double glazing don't come here looking for the same. It is warm, friendly and in a fabulous spot. The house is quirky and very spacious with a well stocked (aga) kitchen and varied library/dvd choice. Our only complaint is that we cant always get in when we want!
