Everything we needed was available, including lots of little extras that you don’t always see. You could tell lots of care had been taken when creating it as a holiday let. Plenty of local food and drink options, and a local shop only a couple of minutes away. The owners were very helpful. Check in and out was easy. Would recommend, and will definitely book again. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda W. 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning property There was absolutely nothing negative about this stunning property. Everything you can think of was provided by the hosts from a lovely welcome hamper to garden seating in a very spacious patio garden area. We were very lucky with the weather & so spent a lot of time sitting in the sun. If the weather hadn't been so good plenty of games were provided.Even though some of us were relatively local it was still an area with much to enjoy. Wickham nearby is a bustling village with independent & antique shops. A visit to Chesapeake Mill is a must. ##### Linda W.
