We stayed here for a month in March/April, and were never less than toasty warm. It's a lovely cottage annexed to the main house, but the fabulous gardens and surrounding fields are available for some great walks. The massive lake at the bottom of the garden is very clean - our pup went for a couple of swims. Also appreciated the sky movies and sky/BT sports channels. Beds, bedding and towels were excellent quality. Kitchen was well equipped and shower was pleasingly powerful. Clarissa and John are great hosts - even providing free-range eggs!
