Rural relaxation
A beautiful rural spot complete with tennis court. Complimentary breakfast pack was amazing and very welcome as no shops nearby. The barn has been beautifully converted. Lovely little garden to sit out in and admire the fields and cows nearby. So many wonderful pubs and walks around this area too
