Saffron was the perfect accommodation for our party of 8, 4 adults and 4 children aged 9-13. Plenty of space with a beautiful sun room. I understand the bathrooms are being refurbished which will be a lovely addition as the current ones are ageing a little, but work perfectly well.The garden terrace was a brilliant spot for enjoying the sunshine and the amenities in the village were plentiful.
