    Was upgraded to a superior room with balcony which was a lovely treat. The room was comfortable with good views. A ceiling fan and cooler unit were also in the room which was great for a hot summers day. A full choice at breakfast and lots of places to sit and relax around the hotel. A nice ambience overall and would stay again.

    Beautiful shepards hut, very well equipped. Heather went the extra mile to help us celebrate our honeymoon. Perfect spot for relaxing and the hot tub is lovely. Great views across the fields at the back and doesn't feel overlooked at all. Ducks are just the cutest and really made our stay special. The hut is fab and even though its naturally a small space everything is so well thought out. We loved it!

    The room was lovely. We had a superior room with a balcony. It was nice and spacious and comfortable with nice view. The veggie breakfast was great. There were plenty of places to relax. We sat on the balcony of our room in the afternoon and enjoyed a bottle of wine in the Autumn sun but there was also a nice marquee with blankets or a lounge for guests to use.
