It’s always a lovely break here. We’ve stayed a few times before. The accommodation is always well run, beautifully clean, cosy and welcoming. The children love the garden and pool table and it’s a beautiful setting.

Respite break due to cancer

The whole place is amazing. We needed to go somewhere peaceful, calm and back to nature after I had 7 months of chemotherapy, complications and hospital stays. This was the perfect place to go. As soon as we arrived we immediately felt happy and in awe of the whole area. The village reminded me of Postman Pat. We loved it and it slowed us down in every way. We will definitely go back when we can. Thanks so much for providing such a brilliant place to stay.
