Beautiful newly built house with wonderful walks around the nearby nature reserve. 3 large comfortable sofas, well positioned for chatting. Generous outdoor seating on the patio with cosy blankets provided for evening BBQ's. A warm welcome from the owners & their family. We enjoyed lunchtime drinks watching red kites & paragliders at The Cross KeysRead more, a short walk from the house. Excellent long, lazy lunch at The Five Bells, restaurant quality food with a good wine list, as opposed to pub grub. Hide

Lovely cottage Plenty of space and well decorated Would benefit from more equipment in kitchen esp if 8 are staying ( there were only 4 of us). Upstairs shower suitable for people under 5 foot, as we are taller we used main bathroom which is excellent

Had a wonderful stay at The Barn. Lovely, clean, spacious and warm. Lots of good walks right on the doorstep, so the dog and I found a different route everyday. Owners were welcoming and helpful.

Rented the cottage over Christmas period. Stunning build, with all required luxurious facilities. Nice area, in lovely countryside, only a stone's throw from major travel networks. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
