Beautiful views from back area, with 4 alpaca girls in paddock , who were delightful. Alongside the bird song and watching house martins swoop about and there was a nesting pair on house.Though on a business park, it was very peaceful and no traffic noise.The Lookout is spacious, especially the kitchen, plenty of storage , great shower. Although the road in , is narrow at times , there are pull in spaces for most parts. Ideally situated to travel to local attractions. Great to be able to walk to Queenwood Country park , saves driving and car park charges. We did find the bed and pillows unsupportive, but that could be down to personal preference, and an upgrade to garden furniture would enhance the outside experience.We enjoyed our time here , where else would you get 4 lovely alpacas staring at you when you pull up.On site parking is great too. Would recommend The Lookout .😊
