We booked our immediate family into two of the Courtyard cottages and were very pleased with both. Comfortable, well equipped and attractively decorated, this was the perfect place from which to launch our youngest daughter into married life.

We stayed in the stables with our children and grandchildren and had a fantastic time. We returned in 2012 as a couple and stayed in the loft and found it to be a home away from home despite the wet weather will return for our xt trip home from Australia and will certainly recommend to anyone.

The eye for detail is excellent - all four units are beautifully decorated and the fixtures and fittings are second to none. The loft is a one bedroomed unit with an enormous lounge/diner, vaulted and beautifully beamed ceiling.
