We had an excellent time, the accommodation was peaceful and the hot tub amazing. We used it as a base as it was midway for the gents to go to Silverstone whilst the ladies when stopping in Birmingham. Would stay again if we decided to go back to Silverstone!
The actual property was clean an a good size the hot tub was marvellous an the views were good with nobody looking over you and away from the main road
Everything was there for cooking an cleaning an good information about the history of the local village just down the road
This property was much nicer than we expected. Every amenity that you would need for a short stay. Clean bedding and towels. Fabulous hot tub which we used loads over 3 days. Walked to Foxton locks and had a great day exploring the canals with the dogs. Lots of local traditional pubs for great food. Will definitely return. Thank you
