The kids loved playing in the huge garden and feeding the ducks by the pond. Lots of space in and around the house. Well resourced kitchen. Short drive to the nearest village, where thereâs a basic shop and pub with games facilities, pool, darts, game machine. The Mere was a beautiful walk along the lake with a pit stop at the Boathouse pub for some beautiful food. Visited West Midlands safari park- 1.5 hour drive but well worth a visit. Definitely recommend. Could do with a bit of TLC and upgrade of mattresses and towels but otherwise comfortable and enjoyable stay.
