We had a lovely stay at this cosy little lodge. It’s really well kept, super clean and had everything we needed for simple cooking. The hot water was always on tap, the shower decentand the hot tub was simply fabulous - checked daily! The grounds are lovely, with horses and peacocks wandering around, which you can visit. The pub nearby, The Globe Inn, is just a couple of minutes away. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, making it a great little break for us.
