A very comfortable week in a well laid out property. One of the few places we’ve stayed in over the years where the pictures don’t do it justice. We would be quite happy to return. The view from the lounge area is something else.

A beautiful place in beautiful surroundings.
Excellent in every way with all amenities provided.
It was spotlessly clean on arrival with lots of little extras supplied in the kitchen etc.
Lovely to be able to sit outside for breakfast & the properties position afforded fabulous views to the Severn Estuary & beyond.
We were fortunate to have perfect walking weather every day which was the reason for our stay.

This is our second stay this year. We just can't stay away. Its located in the most wonderful scenery that is ever changing. The views from breakfast till Dinner are breathe taking. The property is very well equipped with everything you need and extras. The cleanliness and presentation is first class. The owner was only a phone call away and was more than happy to help. I cant not speak highly enough of this wonderful property. Amazing.
I am already planning our return

VERY nice home/structure and lovely location ~
The location and building are beautiful ~ Wonderful sunsets and lovely/amazing views. Some thoughts: The home has everything advertised. The guest information book didn't have a lot of information in it. Great location, (local pub a must!) for exploring the area. The sliding doors are great, however, be prepared for a lot of flying creatures and extreme heat between 4 to 7pm. With that being said, the sliding doors are very different and brings the outside in (in many ways!). The back porch/patio area was very, very dirty, thus, we couldn't sit out there. The house was clean. The check in process was easy, however, we never saw the owners. We would have liked to have had them greet us or take a moment to meet us. We had a problem in one of the showers (which was really bad), we called them and they never came to fix it or return our call. The beds were bad, either too hard or too soft. We loved the location the property, don't miss High Grove Gardens!

Lovely property. Great view!
Lovely property and very peaceful. Beautiful view. Very clean and everything was of a very high standard. We were visiting with elderly relatives who found it easy to walk around the house. Spacious enough for 5 adults and we were also able to entertain visitors comfortably. Well equipped kitchen. We used the excellent community shop on the village. Only slight downside was some road closures which meant a couple of detours but that is temporary! Would love to come back again.
