“Lovely stay”
Stayed at the keepers cottage over the weekend for a family party in the area. It was quiet and relaxing. The cottage was also warm with a wood burning stove available if required.

“Peaceful and authentic”
We stayed as a family for a few days in Keepers Cottage which is part of the old stable block of a Manor House. It was like stepping into the Game keeper cottage as he'd just popped out -Very peaceful and period features like the Kitchen Range and cast Iron Bath added an authentic touch. Having said that it was very comfortable with all the modern conveniences you would expect. A small point the sofa bed/ Settee were a bit uncomfortable which didn't seem in keeping with the otherwise excellent attention to detail.
