We spent another wonderful week at Manor Farm Lodge. Judith and Gordon made us very welcome with a delicious homemade cake and lovely welcome basket. The cottage is beautifully furnished and it is so special to stay there! We walked along the lane one morning, surrounded by butterflies, to the church where there is a spectacular view across Somerset and Dorset. We look forward to another visit and will treasure the memories of this visit! Thank you Judith and Gordon.
