This was my second visit/stay at Olive, and once again it didn't disappoint. Beautiful property in a beautiful & peaceful location. The host, Penelope, had left some lovely welcome treats & also put a Xmas tree up which was a lovely touch for a December stay. The house has all the amenities you could need, is always spotles upon arrival & the garden completely enclosed/private. Property easy to find & key acces the same with clear instructions sent 2/3 days prior to arrival along with any additional info you may need about the surrounding area. Would happily stay at Olive again & again, I will most certainly be back in the new year. Feels like home away from home & I only wish my trip had been longer. Thanks again.

Penelopes place is absolutely perfect - almost too good to be true! It looks just as good as the photos, is located on a farm but its own building so you are undisturbed. The secure garden was perfect for us with our dog. The place was spotles and well-equipped, with beautiful finishes and decor. Its great for dog walks and there is a farm shop down the road. We will be back!
