    “Weekend for 8 ladies.”

    Check in was 5pm. We arrived 3pm and planned to leave cars on spacious drive and go into town. We were pleasantly surprised house was ready and we were able to check in which was much appreciated. Fabulous gardens and outside patio area. House was spotlessly clean. Quirky layout downstairs with many rooms including a library, sun room, downstairs toilet and separate dining room with lots of space. Very large house. Great kitchen with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable and ...

    Check in was 5pm. We arrived 3pm and planned to leave cars on spacious drive and go into town. We were pleasantly surprised house was ready and we were able to check in which was much appreciated. Fabulous gardens and outside patio area. House was spotlessly clean. Quirky layout downstairs with many rooms including a library, sun room, downstairs toilet and separate dining room with lots of space. Very large house. Great kitchen with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable and fresh smelling bed linen. Great location 5 mins from centre. Lovely little village with nice pubs/coffee shops and brewery. We had a great weekend. Would highly recommend.
