We are staying at Wickham House, Sutton Bassett, this is our 4th week out of 6 and we are having a wonderful holiday. The accomodation is perfect and our hosts Peter and Louise could not have been more helpful. It is a very nice area with lots to see but also very peaceful. There is lots of information on places to see and do in the area. I would strongly recommend the annex to everybody it is wheelchair friendly and we would certainly come back again. |

Our stay at Wickham House was fantastic.The facilities were excellent with a well equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom and all rooms designed with wheelchair users in mind. We enjoyed the B&B option this time, waking up to a highly recommended home cooked breakfast! With such a friendly atmosphere it is an ideal place to stay for anyone coming to the area.
We hope to stay longer next time! *****
