Had a lovely week staying at Forest Corner. Fabulous kitchen/dining space with plenty of room for all 9 of us! Our granddaughters loved the big garden and the ponies and donkeys that came to the gate! With plenty of walks on the doorstep and only about half an hour from the coast it's a perfect place to stay.
