Our dog also loved the garden and surrounding fields. We met the owners during our stay, they were gave us some great ideas of places to explore.

Our dog also loved the garden and surrounding fields. We met the owners during our stay, they were gave us some great ideas of places to explore. We had dinner at the Staple Cross Inn which was just a 2 minute drive away (make sure you call them to book). The food was fantastic, a tasty home-cooked meal at a friendly local pub, and genuinely the best apple and blackberry scrumble we’ve ever had, and also the most yummy ‘fudgie’ pie (something we’d never heard of until then!) with homemade ice cream - you must try it - you won’t be disappointed!

    Dear Katrina and Andy, thankyou so much for your lovely review. Makes it all worthwhile. We had Sunday lunch at the Staple Cross Inn today and showed Leigh the landlady your review, who was equally delighted. We would love to see you again. Best wishes, Clive and Bridget. Property Owner
