The History

 

The house was purchased by Marie and Alex from the builder on completion in 1999 and its modern and airy atmosphere makes it well liked by many.

The property has been managed as a self catering unit by them since opening in 2000.  Many  guests have so appreciated the house and its surroundings that they frequently come back several times over. 

In 2020 the business was transferred within the family to John, Rachel and Robert - all of whom have been involved over the years. We aim to maintain the same set of standards at the property so it continues to be available for your use for years to come.

 

We personally will continue to ensure the house is made ready for each new set of guests and in this way provide a good standard of cleanliness and order to the property. 

 

Someone called it “this wonderful house”.
