GUEST REVIEW
“Wow! Absolutely stunning location, beautiful gardens and the most amazing orchards of all sorts of fruit. The accommodation was set apart from the owners house which had a small kitchen and bathroom downstairs and living area and bedrooms upstairs. They also had THE most friendliest piglet in the whole world. His name is Charlie and we all fell in love with him, Dave and Hannah made us feel very welcome. I can’t recommend this location enough. A peaceful haven for sure..”
