"Stillness was a lovely property which had everything we needed while visiting family. It's set in a beautiful area and there are lots of lovely touches around the grounds, such as giant chess, woodland walks and a Forget me not garden. The property was small but perfect for us, I didn't realise the back gate and through the garden was the only entrance, this was a little challenging to navigate with my nervous rescue dog when the daily hot tub maintenance was due to happen, but this only took...

The Frampton Arms

The Frampton Arms

10/10 Excellent
"Had a one night stay here in room 9 really lovely place, good sized room, comfy bed, good shower! We didn’t eat here but the food smelled and looked delicious, we had a drink in the bar which was lovely. Breakfast was a bit disappointing as it was just continental which I don’t normally mind but the croissant and other pastries were the packet ones which in my opinion are a real let down and also only white bread for toast which I wouldn’t normally eat. I will definitely stay here again though as all the staff I encountered were lovely, very accommodating and extremely helpful."
