An ideal place for a peaceful get away. The Pump House is finished to a high standard, on lovely grounds that you are free to explore. It has a comfy bed and good shower. We loved the outdoor hammock type swings. Our only niggle was that the TV is a bit small for the distance to the settee.

The pump house is beautiful so well renovated,warm and clean,it is remote though and took us a while to find it in the dark and the rain ..access roads are narrow and more like farm tracks, Clare the housekeeper was happy for us to ring her and she helped us get to the property.The nearest village with shops/take aways etc is around a 15 min drive away (codsall),there was a lovely welcome pack with Milk /biscuits and a xmas tree/wreath up too for when we arrived. Thankyou ! we had a lovely time celebrating our wedding anniversary! Nancy & Warren Abbotts
