Leonard United Kingdom

breakfast was more than enough and very tasty. location was heavenly peace and quiet and beautiful view. once again thankyou.

Ronald United Kingdom

I could not fault my experience staying here. They were the most welcoming hosts, without being intrusive. Their home is comfortable, homely and the bed is easily the most comfortable one I've slept in at a B&B. The setting is absolutely tranquil, right in the beautiful countryside, you definitely need a car to reach this location. Our room had a view over the lake which was so calming to look at. It is in an excellent location for Silverstone, Bicester and Stowe. Breakfast options - you can have a lovely cooked breakfast or they have cereals, yoghurt and fruit out for your choice. It was also lambing season, so we got to meet some of the lambs which was the cutest experience, my heart felt so full.

Lucy United Kingdom

This was a birthday getaway for my parents and they said they had the most amazing time, the staff went over and above to accommodate everything. They will talk about this break for a while. Thank you for looking after them.

We really enjoyed the view of the lovely fields. The atmosphere was very calming. Cassie and Mark were amazing hosts, who accommodated our late check in and out times. The facilities were excellent, we found the shower very powerful which was wonderful. Lovely little relaxing stay.

Arriving tired and not feeling like going out to find somewhere for dinner the hosts very kindly offered to provide me with a two course meal which was delicious and greatly appreciated.

Host Information

9.8
Host review score
The house has been in the family for over 100 years and is a remaining part of a deserted medieval village. The 2 lakes, the wildlife and beautiful countryside make it an idyllic place to stay.
I love animals and especially horses. I am passionate about making sure that my horses enjoy being with me as much as I enjoy being with them.
South Northamptonshire has been voted 3rd best County in the country to live in and is a bit like the Cotswolds without the tourists! We are central for many attractions to suit all age groups and needs as well as perfect for business travellers.
