Our stay at Taylor's Meadow was lovely. We celebrated my mother-in-law's 82nd birthday with close family members. The location was perfect for relaxing in the countryside, with plenty of local towns to visit and see for days out (local tip: go and spend an hour at The Old Wheelwright at the tea rooms, we had so much fun on the clay wheel) - ExcelleRead morent owner communications Hide

Beautiful house to stay in for a family birthday. We stayed for a week and there were between 2-9 people staying over the week. Big house but as it was cosy it did not feel massive when it was just 2 of us staying. We would move in tomorrow. Views stunning. We hired a hot tub for the week which we all enjoyed and if we came back (fingers crossed) wRead moree would do this again. Thank you Hide

Lovely house in a lovely location. If you want to get away from it all for a few days, this is the place. Well equipped and very comfortable. The owners were very helpful with any questions we had prior to our stay. We would happily return.
