Grandchildren loved every minute & was soon crabbing down the back way, as this was our 2nd stay as a large family we knew to take the crabbing net's & buckets, which even us grown ups enjoyed. We got out & about at Green Park activity, zip world was amazing plus numerous other place's we visited then back home to relax, the house & surroundings are spot on so we chilled on the Friday to enjoy it then had a lovely bbq, Charles & Mimi are lovely people to meet who are alway's ready to help with anything you need, so thankyou for another great holiday in your lovely home.

Charles and Mimi very kindly left us a bottle of red wine and some Belgian chocolate biscuits, also ground coffee etc. and because they knew us from previous years, called round with some Prosecco as well! We hope to see them again at some point in the future. Marian King

The location, and the converted historic building itself are unique and magical. The accommodation is very well maintained, appointed and comfortable, with many many lovely touches, and the hosts, Charles and Mimi are most welcoming. The area, of course, has everything for all ages. We have had a wonderful extended family week there. Many many thanks.
