Great stay at this property! The location was easy to find, with plenty of parking for two large vehicles. It’s only an hour away from London, making it a convenient getaway. The property itself was a great size for four people, and the fenced garden was a bonus for anyone with a large dog.Everything was clean, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Checkout was seamless—I left at the exact time without feeling rushed or reminded, which was really appreciated. The hosts were professional, responsive, and helpful throughout. I’d love to stay again, whether at this property or another one of theirs. Highly recommend!

The accommodation was well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The surroundings are beautiful. A perfect setting for exploring and relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay.

A high quality stable conversion with all the mod cons and a spacious private garden. Mobile reception isnt great, but WiFi was strong. Nearby walks and dog friendly pub just down the road. Would happily stay again.
