Fabulous weekend in this beautiful and well-equipped house. Many thoughtful touches and a very generous welcome pack. Great walking nearby, including the extraordinary Maiden Castle hill fort and a nice pub in the village. We had planned to explore further afield but ended up making the most of the house and its facilities instead!

Lovely house, we stayed with family and had a great time. Rooms are big, separate spaces for the kids to play in the lounge if they want some space. Hot tub was a nice addition. Easy distance to walk into the small town pub. Also easy driving distance to the bigger town and attractions.Thanks for having us. Only small change I’d make is a bigger bin in the kitchen, it’s quite small so gets full quickly when there are a lot of you.
