Of all the places in the Midlands Pleasant Places has to be one of the BEST. Janet and myself have spent many a wonderful weekend with John and Linda - such wonderful hosts. The food is really nice - the atmosphere and ambiance is comfortable, warm and on a winters day wonderfully 'cosy'. We will continue to be part of... More
