“This is a property that clearly understands the appeal of a true retreat; the glazing is notably good, ensuring peace despite the proximity to the road, and the beds themselves are a genuine comfort. It strikes me as particularly well-suited for groups, with a thoughtful provision of amenities like the pool and games room, and the nearby inn adds a welcome convivial element.”
