    Only that we had to leave. We couldn't fault this place AT ALL.

    We loved everything about our stay! Roach was equipped with everything we needed - a cosy bed, kitchenette & stunning views to top it off! We woke up every morning in awe of where we were. The place was so magical with all the baby geese & ducks on the lake, & the fish under the balcony circling for our crums. We could have stayed forever! We also did lots of fishing during our trip & we had an amazing time! You can tell real love has gone into this wonderful place, from the care of the wildlife & fish, to the care & attentiveness of their guests. Thank you for having us we really did have the very best stay.

    I wish the swimming lake had some attention as I would have loved to jump in every morning, and it had some green stuff in , but I quess it's just nature and the time of season But maybe something could be done

    Place is nicely looked after, flower pots, mowed lawn on footpaths, Great escape from city life and only short drive away less than 2 hours from London, Cabin was clean, really comfortable bed , most important I felt safe being at remote place And I think it was a really nice touch by providing some eggs milk and hot out of oven bread for the stay. Would definitely come back

    The hut was so clean and comfy and had everything we needed for the weekend. beautiful view of the lake. facilities were great with an amazing shower. Geraldine and Mark made us feel very welcome, the warm rolls were a lovely touch and very delicious. Partner fished for a day and half and caught 7 fish on total and he was a very happy chap.

    This was a little piece of country paradise. Geraldine and Mark were lovely people and fantastic hosts. They literally thought of everything to make your stay perfect. everything was so clean, private bathrooms were a massive plus for me. The kind welcome pack of hot rolls and croissants, milk, eggs, orange juice was lovely. everything u would need for a perfect stay was thought of .Mark was always around for a chat and any help needed. the surroundings were just beautiful. nothing to fault about anything - superb place and we will return one day x my dog had the time of his life running through the enclosed fields he rates it 10/10 too 😊🐶

    Nothing, everything was thought of.

    Had a fantastic stay in "Roach" overlooking the pond, and although the weather wasn't great it didn't detract from the beauty of the place, if anything it's made us want to come back again in the summer. Lovely hosts, attentive and friendly, would highly recommend.

    Literally nothing. Can't think of a single thing

    Mark came out to greet us when we arrived and gave us a full tour. Everything was insanely clean (I'm a cleaner myself and have very high standards), everything was just so beautiful and well kept, warm and cosy. We casually mentioned it was our honeymoon and Mark brought us a bottle of prosecco, which was lovely. They also offered to take us to the supermarket for supplies as we didn't have transportation. The surrounding environment is BEAUTIFUL. Rolling hills, pastures and woodland, which just calmed me right down. We had an amazing time, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Great honeymoon.

    We loved everything!

    Absolutely everything! Beautiful location, wonderful hosts, lovely accommodation! We were greeted by Mike on arrival who welcomed us with fresh rolls and croissants straight from the oven. Our shepherd's hut was clean and cosy with everything we could possibly need for our stay. The whole place is so peaceful. We watched and fed the fish from our decking and admired the beautiful view. At night we used the log burner, played scrabble and viewed the stars before getting a great night's sleep in the wonderfully comfortable bed. Thank you Mike and Geraldine for the most wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.

    Nothing to dislike. We were happy with everything. The owners are both lovely,friendly,helpful people who couldn't be more accomodating. They even told us to help ourselves to the delicious apples from one of their trees to take with us.

    An idyllic place to stay. Such a peaceful and beautiful location, with lovely walks from the hut,which was clean,cosy and cute and well equipped with a comfortable bed and everything you need for a break. My husband loved the fishing. I loved sitting on the balcony of the hut relaxing and taking in the views and watching the wildlife,including blue tits and great tits on the feeders on the balcony. Our dog,Dixie loved all the walks nearby and playing in the enclosed field with the owner's gorgeous Dobermann! Wish we could have stayed longer in this little paradise,but we definitely hope to return.
