Latest Reviews
This venue was excellent for all disabled peoples as i am one of them. As a bungalow there was no worrying about accessibility and toddlers escaping upstairs. Bedrooms and bathrooms all spacious enough. Garden had good access and was large enough to play games, run about or just kick back and relax – especially in good weather! It was very clean and well kept and hospitality was great. There is also a nice pub a few minutes walk away for a drink or meal. Would definitely recommend as a venue for breaks with the extended family.
