Disappointing

Nice host but property very old and tired and dirty as we needed to hoover everywhere and clean the shower. Walls covered in cobwebs which was a real shame as o lovely location. We left after two days and moved elsewhere which cost us an additional £500. Plus the stairs to the bedroom were too steep and dangerous and this should be mentioned in the advertisement and a large frog lived under the settee that appeared in the last day to say goodbye.

Fantastic time

Lovely place and fantastic location, Craig and Sue were great. Plenty of knowledge to give where the petrol stations were, supermarkets and places of interest. We loved our honeymoon here and would definitely return in the future. Thank you both for a great relaxing time.

Peaceful location

Enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful week, went out in the mornings visiting the nearby towns and villages, then home to sit by the lake listening to the birdsong. Enjoyed the fishing and the ducks which kept us company ! Overall a fantastic week, very lucky with the weather, we hope to return in the near future. Thank you Craig and Sue for being so helpful and welcoming.

Relaxing break

Beautiful spot, Sue and Craig are lovely hosts and very helpful. Ducks and cats stole the show. Worth returning to for another stay, could have sat by the lake all day.

An oasis

We had an amazing time here. The owners were brilliant. Craig was so helpful in finding us a place to get our PCR tests done for coming back to the UK. It'd a lovely spot and so peaceful by the lake with just the ducks for company.

We gave loved country living, passing the time of day when you see someone, whether you know them or not, discovering the delicious and huge variety of wine, cheeses and food, all of which we hope you will enjoy during your visit. We live on site, but totally respect your privacy, but are around for any help or advice you may want. We look forward to welcoming you.
