“Lovely rambling house perfect for family get togethers”

- Mrs Knill, April 2019
“Lovely warm comfortable old house in a pretty village setting.”

Plenty of room for everyone in this spacious house. Only slight disadvantage are the bathroom facilities as one is en suite and this left only 2 other toilets and showers ( although of course en suite shower available for all to use ) for 10 people. However, considering the age of the property this was a minor inconvenience! Lovely area with great walking opportunities. We enjoyed sitting around the big table in the cosy kitchen with the Rayburn keeping us warm. Would recommend the nearby Bicknoller Inn for good reasonably priced Pub Grub. Table Tennis in the barn added an extra dimension to our most enjoyable weekend.

- Mrs Van Der Grinten, December 2018
“Gorgeous house, gorgeous setting!”

Maggie was a wonderful host, really helpful but also non intrusive. Kids loved the sheep and goat at the end of the garden!! Will definitely be coming back!

Good host very friendly brilliant house quiet location great facilities warm comfortable lots of character we really enjoyed our stay would recommend

- Mr Williams, November 2018
“We had a fantastic time in a fabulously cute "cottage" which was lovely and warm and there was plenty to do in the local area.”

The games room was a hit with the grandchildren, also the selection of board games and the piano of course - we could shut the door to the room too which was a bonus, there's only so many times you can eagerly listen to "chopsticks"! :). Maggie is an exceptionally lovely lady and was very eager to ensure that we were happy with everything which of course we were. A great place to stay and somewhere we would all be willing to go back to at any time ....................... Oh, and the Aga - loved it, only wish we had a kitchen big enough for one.................

- Mrs Rodway, October 2018
“The layout of the house was excellent for a large family as it gave the option for children to have one lounge and adults a separate space.”

The children loved being near the animals in the paddock and the games room was a bonus,the equipment could do with being up dated. The bedrooms worked out very well with families with conveniant access to bathrooms,the attic room a great favourite with the older children.It was a great spot with easy access to all local amenities.A1 OK. Alan

This is a lovely country house with homely, comfortable charm and grace.

In front, a neat fenced garden and, at the back, a courtyard (table/chairs, barbecue) filled with flower tubs, leading to a lawned garden, and, beyond that, a paddock (occasionally sheep, goats, pigs).

The lawned garden and paddock are occasionally shared with the friendly owner who lives across the courtyard.
