A lovely house in a quiet location, yet M40 is only about a mile away, therefore good location for visiting Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. We have stayed here twice, so far, and would come back again.

Beautiful house with everything needed for a home, plenty of space, equipment and very well kept. Perfect position for us to explore lots of places, for the younger adults to do forest biking and canoeing and the older members to go walking and visit lots of pretty towns. A bit niche, but without us realising also turned out to be a great place to Read moreexplore filming locations for BBC s Merlin, which the young adults loved as children and were so excited about seeing certain rocks/ gullies/ caves.
