This is the second time we have been, and we plan to come again. We particularly love the garden - the "garden of Eden" we like to call it! The white roses has everything you would want and need. Thank you

Perfect for 15 ppl. The only let down is lack of pressure in the showers.

The location was fab, so much to do and also great eateries nearby. It is comfortable and warm, lovely for families and a big garden to play. The owners are very responsive to any problems. The only slight downside is the close proximity to A40, which can be a bit noisy. But otherwise super.
