Just returned from a fabulous week at the coach house.Ideal location for exploring the lovely local area which has so many lovely things to do. The house is a spacious and clean. The large garden and swimming pool was great for our 4 boys. Boys are keen to return again and continue exploring. Thank you for a lovely stay and lots of memories made!
