    “Lovely house it was very quirky with lots of places for hide and seek for the children.”

    We had a problem with the heating and Helen the owner came straight away to sort it out. The older children loved the hot tub and the games room was a bonus. The property was well placed for getting about,and we had a nice walk to the farm shop but the road was very busy Thank you Helen it was lovely celebrating my birthday in your property
