The house is surrounded on all sides by 3 acres of garden with pride of place just of the courtyard being a new pool and decked area for the 2019 season. Fruit trees and relaxation zones where guests can relax and read their favourite book in the shade of the trees. Peace and tranquillity are guaranteed with little or no noise, light or air pollution in a rural setting. For the young at heart, table tennis, darts, snooker, petanque court , large outdoors chess\draughts and 10x5 swimming pool with amazing country views.

Very rude hosts
The house is very pretty and in an idyllic location with lots of facilities. We enjoyed using the pool and external eating area. Unfortunately, the hosts who live on site, were often visible and used the pool while we were there. They interrupted our last evening meal to insist that we ensured we cleaned the house to a professional standard. Although we did clean the house to a reasonable standard we have since been sent 3 abusive emails as the cleaning did not meet their standards.
