Fabulous location surrounded by fields (occasionally with a herd of deer and a few hares!) Spacious living area and perfect for accompanying dogs (entrance lobby for drying them, plus large utility room) Lovely host, Jan, welcomed us to the place, showed us around - and told us about a lovely bluebell wood nearby. Also appreciated the biscuits and snacks!

A lovely barn and well stocked. The only downside is the dark nights and small country lanes so didn't feel like venturing out at night.
