Around & About

From our guestbook...

We found this beautiful cottage on the internet, but had not expected it to be our home from the second we were welcomed: fresh flowers in all rooms. The girls loved helping with feeding the animals and one of the highlights was the landrover ride through Midsommer country, with the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang windmill and pond as extras. Thanks for pointing us to the right pubs! Thanks Simon & Lindy
