James
We had such a lovely stay! The location is fantastic-easy to visit nearby charming towns, yet the house feels completely private and peaceful. The place itself is gorgeous, mixing modern comforts with traditional charm, which we really appreciated. The hot tub, games roomand cosy living space made our evenings special. The cleanliness was top-notchand the bedrooms were well spaced out. The kitchen and dining area was perfect for relaxing meals. Highly recommend!

We’ve stayed here twice nowand once again, Linda and Nigel were fantastic hosts. The house is really spacious, modernand fully kitted out, making everything super comfortable. The big highlight is the bathroom in the Oast turret - such a lovely view of the pond and fields while you shower. We had great laughs around the huge dining table during meal times.
