We stayed at Damselfly (Toad cottage) for a weekend and it was fantastic! There was plenty of space for our group of 5and everything was spotless. The hot tub was a real treat after a dip in the pondand the beds were super comfy. Having 3 bathrooms made things so much easierand the kitchen was fully equipped. The wood burner kept us cosyand the gym was surprisingly well-stocked. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the donkeys made our day. We'll definitely be coming back!
