A lovely friendly welcome from Nigel who could not have been more caring and helpful. The field is well cut and clippings removed so no tiresome little bits being tracked about. The toilet, whilst elderly was also kept spotlessly clean. A peaceful location with a lovely... Show more

A real gem of a CL.
Our first stay on this CL and it offers just what we like, peace, tranquility, views, clean and tidy, access to lovely countryside and places to visit. All this as well as a very enthusiastic, helpful and welcoming host in Nigel. Thank you.
