There is nothing that Chris and Julie havenât thought of, so many loving touches, it was a sheer delight to call this home for a week and to escape and relax. The setting is idyllic, a tranquil haven away from the busyness of the world with a river babbling away in the background and rolling hills and sheep to complete the perfect views. A very warm welcome awaited us when we arrived from Chris, a guided tour of the property and history as to how it came into being. Itâs set in a fabulous valley with easy access to many places to visit nearby or simply take a walk. Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome pack, the cake was delicious and the doggy treats very welcome too.
