Tale Head property was an enjoyable stay. The property is true to their pictures if not better. The games room has been a great escape for the teenagers, their parents and their nan. A beautiful property in an equally beautiful location.

Absolutely stunning property in a stunning location, surrounded by fields. It is perfect if you are looking to escape for a while and switch off, which is what we wanted. Our 19 month old loved the open space! Shop and pub in the village around 1 mile away. Youd need to drive for anything more. Homeowners are more than accommodating, making us feelRead more extremely welcome. The property is immaculately equipped and clean, couldnt fault. Cant wait to come back! 10/10 Hide
