We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Lapwing Rise. The bungalow is spacious, comfortable and clean and the views are spectacular. We were a party of 4 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs, there was plenty of space within the bungalow for us all to enjoy some peace! . The hot tub is wonderful and was regularly maintained during our week long stay. The location is perfect too - lovely to see the steam train pass at one side of the bungalow and boats sail down the canal at the other side. The owners are very friendly and helpful - we had a broken down camper van on arrival. Gregor lent us some tools which meant we could get back on the road again.I highly recommend Lapwing Rise.
