Grassguards is a fantastic property within beautiful countryside. There is plenty to keep a family entertained within walking distance and the lakes are also by accessible car. I would highly recommend this high quality property.

We thought the house was great! It served our needs and was well equipped. It was warm and cosy. The owners statement that it is a remote site is true!, you do need to drive for a while before youre on a public road. We found out you can get home deliveries if you meet the van at the car park nearest the house (with the river next to it). We had anRead more enjoyable week though and if the sun had shine a bit more it would have been even better. But you cant organise that, Hide
