Great property has everything you could possibly need and more. We had lots of space for 9 of us both inside and out. The extras provided were amazing. Games for the kids both inside and out, books, a bar the garden. Unfortunately we had terrible weather so weren’t able to use the garden very much. The barn was perfect for my daughter and her family whilst the house accommodated us and my 2nd daughters family, perfect. Shop 2 mins away in one direction pub 2 mins in the other direction. Lovely quiet village. Lots of dog walks and great park for the kids. Will be going back.
