We could not recommend this property and location enough.
We could not recommend this property and location enough. The warm friendly welcome from the owners was wonderful. The wrap around garden garden and surrounding estate was great for our two dogs to walk and play in safely. The lodge itself offered us everything we required and more, comfy beds, super shower, a bonus air fryer ( not expected) great washer and dishwasher and the lodge is large enough to give everyone space.It was a peaceful, restful holiday. At this time of year almost all local attractions are closed but we knew this in advance, however the area has enough free historic sites to visit with plenty of covering leaflets, importantly all complemented by knowledge from the owners at Force of Nature. (Lynn and Jason).We enjoyed ourselves so much we have booked for two weeks later in the year. On the estate at Force of Nature there is is a gem of a cafe offering a superb selection of light bites and cakes that are excellent (all made by Ellie with Love). If you are looking for a good break surrounded by lots of nature then this is it.

Lovely house, lovely location, lovely owners!
Really nice house. Really clean and everything we needed provided. Short walk (less than a mile) walk to the main house which had a beautiful craft shop and cafe serving delicious food. Great house to use as a base for walking and sightseeing in the area! Also the dog loved it! Owners very welcoming and nearby if you ever need anything! Can’t fault it - great stay! Hopefully we’ll be back!
