Peaceful retreat
Although it’s small, this place has a lot to offer. Outside there’s a picnic table with fabulous views over the countryside for when the weather’s nice, and fo when it’s not so nice, there’s cosy covered area with a fire pit, a big table and some comfy chairs. So overall, there’s more space for everyone than might appear from the photos.
There aren’t actually 2 bathrooms in the lodge but there is a communal loo and shower very close by.
Lovely hosts who provided a delicious home made Victoria sponge 😋

Wunderbare Auszeit auf dem Land
Wir haben zu viert (4 Erwachsene) 2 Tage in dem traumhaften Mobilheim verbracht. Für 2 Tage absolut in Ordnung, zumal das Wetter toll war und wir viel draußen waren. Für eine Familie mit 2 Kindern top! Die Lage ist wunderschön, das Mobilheim bietet alles, was man braucht, es ist einfach nur ruhig mit tollem Ausblick. Ideal für Kinder, die dort auf dem Gelände sich überall frei bewegen können. Es gibt Ponies, Kühe und Hühner. Wir durften sogar mal beim Melken zuschauen! Die Vermieter wohnen in dem Farmhaus und sind ganz zauberhaft. Toll war auch die kleine, offene Hütte, in der wir abends noch windgeschützt sitzen konnten.
