    The owner popped over to say hello which we also thought was so nice. We would stay again, it was a great spot!

    We booked our stay for my sisters 30th birthday with some friends and we had a great time. The property is beautiful (we felt it was even nicer than the pictures) and all rooms were clean and spacious. The property also had an enclosed garden so our dog could run around. My only negative feedback is that the curtains are quite thin so great for if you’re happy to wake up with the rising sun but less so if you would like a lie in. There was 7 of us staying but we could’ve comfortably housed a few more. We hosted some extra family for lunch on the Saturday and they all wanted the details to be able to stay again. We ate a roast at the Greyhound in Broughton which I would also recommend.

    Two enormous group rooms - the photos do not do the space justice. What a fantastic large dining table! It was very cold weekend, but the house was lovely and warm - amazing for such a large space. Beds again warm and appreciated blanket on each bed. Nice to be greeted by the owners. Lovely area for walks and local pub owner even drove a few of our group as it was getting dark! Close to lots of places to visit if you want a longer break . Any feedback? another shower would be really beneficial - 2 showers across 11 people is not really adequate, especially as limited hot water to use baths - fine for a weekend break. A couple more t towels, dish cloths again for a large house. Put basic house information in one book - couple of walks, pubs etc as we had to search it out from a lot of old leaflets. A coffee machine! We will probably return as we liked it so much !!
