About this property
The Cook House, a gorgeous home is located on the owner’s farm with views of the countryside and access to the private members' fishing lake which is also on the farm.

When it's time to serve, bring the dinner party natter to the dining table and toast to an unforgettable holiday. Afterwards, curl up on the sofa and put a DVD on for a spot of family bonding.

Three bedrooms await sleepy heads; two king-size rooms and a twin, all enveloped around countryside views, making it a peaceful haven to catch your rest.

Everything was clean and tidy. A real bonus having three bathrooms and the water temperature and pressure were excellent. It was lovely to look out of the windows and see the farm animals and wildlife. We'll be booking the Cooks House again.
