Very cozy one bedroom purpose built bungalow in a sleepy cul de sac in Barford. We loved it. Our hosts were brilliant. The whole property is fabulous and beautifully thought out. The Writing Room is warm.. with (for us) a really comfortable bed. Cleanliness, fixtures, fittings absolutely faultless. The internet was high speed and connected to the TV as well. The pictures of the main garden...(Which you can have use of) do not do justice... You have to see it to really appreciate how well thought out the whole place is. Matthew and Kirsty thank you for a really lovely week. We hope to have the opportunity to return.
