Perfect

Liked: Vanessa was the perfect host. Anticipating our needs and providing truly exceptional service. At extremely short notice she put up a gentleman who is 71 and has an Incurable Cancer who had been cold and damp when sleeping in a tent the previous 2 nights. He is trying to complete the 268 Mile Pennine Way Walk.Thank you Vanessa Best wishes to you and your husband

Beautiful country house, definitely recommended.

Liked: Breakfast is served in a lovely wood panelled dining room. Delicious full English breakfast with toast and honey,jam and marmalade, plenty of tea and coffee all served by Vanessa, a cold buffet breakfast if wanted too. The room was beautiful with a big comfy four poster bed. A little fridge in the room had a welcome pack of scones, jam, cream, cute little bottle of milk, biscuits and wine. All delicious. White company toiletries were a lovely addition too. Excellent to have the use of the sitting room and sun room with snooker/pool table and decking with seating.
Disliked: Nothing.
