A perfect gem!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely perfect from start to finish!From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The warm meet-and-greet and the thoughtful welcome pack set the tone for a truly special stay. The house is breathtaking — full of period charm yet with every modern comfort you could wish for. Every room feels carefully curated, and even the small touches, like the luxuriously fluffy towels, made it feel extra indulgent. This place is a true gem — the kind you tell friends about in a whisper so you can keep it to yourself Highly, highly recommended! We will definitely be returning!!!
Fabulous weekend
We booked the Wheatsheaf as a family group of 9. Visiting the area for the first time for a family wedding. The accommodation was fantastic - very clean, very comfortable, very unique and beautifully laid out. The owners were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, the snacks and drinks left were very much appreciated. The fans in each bedroom were also very much appreciated in the 30 degree heat !!Would whole heartedly recommend a stay at this very unique property.
