9.3 / 10 Terry and Christine 24 July, 2019

Just got back from a great two weeks. The weather was very hot so the fantastic pool and secret garden was a god send. Spent the whole time just relaxing by the pool or in the shade of the covered terrace. The house is well equipped with everything you need and is very comfortable. Everything you need is nearby and it is so very peaceful. Chris and Julie are a lovely couple and excellent hosts and very helpful.

We have immediately booked up for next year, so that says it all.

Chris and Terry Ashmore.
