One of the most beautiful locations we've stayed at
By Sara Almahri on 08-Jun-2025"We had a lovely weekend at The Old Vicarage celebrating both Eid Aladha and a birthday. This is certainly one of the most beautiful locations we've stayed at. From the scenery to the serenity of the countryside to the impeccably furnished house, we have had a very comfortable stay. We also enjoyed seeing the cattle around us, walking by the river, and using the leisure facilities. Julia is a brilliant host who made us feel comfortable and at ease."
Superb welcome hamper
By Deborah Newdick on 06-Jun-2025"We have had a lovely week to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our family. Superb welcome hamper on arrival and really appreciated the garden flowers on the table. Warm and comfortable and everything we needed to cook and entertain ourselves. Leisure facilities were amazing and enjoyed by all from baby Reggie to the 'older folk'. Lots of interesting walks but we really enjoyed the walk up to Old Gang Head Mine. Thank you Julia for all the help and information. A great time was had by all!"
