“Perfect Family celebration getaway”

Reviewed 1 Sep 2021

Location is beautiful and easy to find. The house is stunning with all the equipment supplied, spacious, luxurious and comfortable. Lesley has been a perfect host and very accommodating, she even arranged for a hot tub on my request. I organised a family 40th birthday weekend for 10 of us and this place was perfect to hosting large gathering. We all had a great time and would visit again, this time to see more of Shaftesbury and surrounding town/villages as there are so many places and things to do. Thank you Lesley for your hospitality.
