An amazing property with a great host, Laura, who is very supportive. Had a wonderful family weekend spent. Kids loved the animals and the farm vibe. It had everything a family needs to call it a home.There was an external 4th bedroom outside the main house but we didn't need it. Property has privacy and good location. Will visit again!

We absolutely loved this lush, leafy property. We spent several wonderful days enjoying the beautiful house and gardens, and made great use of the games shed as well. It was the perfect setting to celebrate a milestone birthday with family — relaxing, fun, and truly memorable.Thank you

The house was comfortable, stylish and clean. Beautiful gardens and expansive outdoor spaces. The games room in the shed was great fun and we loved patting the animals each day. It was so green and quiet - just what we needed.

We had a great family weekend with our chocolate labrador on board too - didn't need to go off the property for fun, my boys loved the ping pong, pool table and the ropes course. My labrador loved the space and quickly became friends with the horse. Nothing better than sitting in front of a fire playing games altogether. Thanks so much for having us

Looking for a peaceful place out of the rat race?? …. Where the mind drifts to the tree tops listening to the birds, relaxing walks through the many themed and thought out gardens. Where little people (children) can imagine and create adventures with plenty of outside time… All the amenities are there, in a place that feels like home. Switch off (to online) but switch in to Nature and all its beautiful surrounds. Our greyhound Johnny enjoyed it too. Thank you x
The road in…
The house is beautiful- Cosy with plenty of room
