Guest comments
We are very nearly at the end of our holiday here in your beautiful home, and felt the need to email to thank you before we left. We've really had the best ever holiday, and from the moment we stepped foot in the house, loved it- so much character, very stylishly decorated, just our kind of thing. Rachael Hardwick.
We had such a lovely, lovely holiday; your house is gorgeous, we loved the layout and all the old doors, floorboards etc so much character; we enjoyed the swimming pool and sitting out with the smell of box and lavender. Juliana Ross-Marrs
