Guestbook

Have spent an incredible relaxing week in this lovely house which has been everything that we hoped it would be. Lovely décor, well equipped and topped off with a wood burning fire. The garden and the pool were icing on the cake and would recommend evening trips down the lane glow bug spotting as well as plenty of star gazing. Had a great meal out in Mortain but spent most nights enjoying the comforts of this lovely cottage. B T London and S. Wales

What a beautiful home you have created here. You have thought of everything possible to make the perfect holiday home. It is probably one of the nicest, most relaxed places, we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be back-the children have loved it here. T & H C West Sussex


Really great house with lovely décor-very nicely furnished. Having the pool was fantastic had a lot of fun in it. Had a day in Paris and some good weather. Really lovely log burning fire and spacious rooms. N M aged 12
