Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting about 1.5 hours from London, this property felt like stepping into another world—quiet, lush, and full of life. The greenery is absolutely breathtaking, and the surrounding forest teems with wildlife. Every second we spent here was pure joy. Our old dog, who usually prefers to nap most of the day, suddenly came to life—running freely through the woods with a spark we hadn’t seen in years. Peter, the host, was incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. If you're looking for a tranquil escape into nature, this is the spot. We’re already dreaming about coming back. ##### Rodica P.
