Everything you could need

We had a lovely stay at Harpers Haven. Very comfortable for children and adults. Nice big lounge area for the children to play. Would be absolutely lovely to stay in summer with the large deck. Beds were nice and comfy. Was a great long weekend away to unwind.

Great place, slightly quirky layout and lots of beds and space - the infinity hot water, heaters and electric blankets were appreciated for a winter stay. We were nice and warm.

Wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay Hadleigh! Those extra warming comforts always make winter stays a little bit cosier! We hope to see you again at one of our properties. Cheers, Jessie
