Let's start off by saying that we are in our early seventies. That we researched the property carefully. That we were aware of the idiosyncrasies of the property as a result of carefully viewing the advertising photographs. That one of us is tall and the other short! That said we spent several wonderful days at the Sawmill in an atmosphere that was both a delight, private, comfortable, entertaining (if you enjoy being so close to nature). The property is quite rightly described as quirky. One continually finds little touches of the personality that the owners have tucked away in ever nook and cranny of both the property and garden. We both needed a period of respite. Staying at the Sawmill gave us that in bucketful's. The local town is but a few minutes walk away. There is a Baker, a Butchers, a Greengrocer, a supermarket and a range of pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, takeaways to suit most. History abounds. Walks everywhere.
