Beautiful location that couldn’t be more quiet and peaceful. Gerald greeted us on arrival and entertained us with great stories about the house and his family. Patrick, one of Helen and Gerald’s sons, was brilliant and played with our eldest whilst we packed the car, too! Loads of space and an area for kicking soccer balls around with Wimbledon-worthy turf, and two trampolines (large and low/small) which were perfect for our 2 and 7 year olds. The two dogs of the house (Max and Buddy) kept our 7 year old occupied and he was tears upon leaving them and is now bugging us for a dig of our own. Helen’s cooking was better than we expected, and that’s after all the glowing reviews from other travellers. Breakfast kept us full all day, and there were cakes and tea upon arrival. Much needed after a long drive. Unfortunately we had to depart early due for family reasons, but hope to be back to enjoy it more. For those travelling with families (particularly babies or toddlers), the large bath tubs, toys (loads of Lego, Brio and Duplo) and very dark shutters/curtains and quiet surrounding plus places to run around were ideal. Only consideration is if you’re in separate rooms from others in your party, the 3 rooms available for guests are spaced out with Helen and Gerald’s children so bring a monitor or better still pile into one or two rooms if you’ve got a sleep walker like we do. The beds are also quite high, so having your own cot or using the double beds works better.
