We enjoyed a family celebration at Primrose Spinney and had a wonderful time. The house is superb - interesting and well equipped with even a games room! The garden is lovely, perfect for an outdoor breakfast for 8. Ample room and tasteful decor.

A very pleasant rental home. It was comfortable and well equipped. The enclosed garden was a lovely spot for both us and our terrier to hang out in. The property was very dog friendly. The owner had kindly provided throws to go on the sofa and chair should your dog sofa surf. The shower had plenty of hot water and was large and easy to use. The property was situated in the centre of the village with its own handy parking space. It was close to so. e nice shops and local amenities. We very much enjoyed our stay there. Our one niggle was the size of the bed. It was a double which in this latest heatwave made it rather hot at night. A king size bed without a footboard is a necessity for taller larger people like us. We would definitely consider staying again in colder weather or if the bed was made bigger!

Looking for a place to get away from it all? The Glass Room is perfect, idyllic location, great accomodation and central to many local attractions. Sit by the large window, watch the alpacas and watch the world go by. Good Wifi, great hosts and spotlessly clean. Local area is very much old England and yes it still exists!. So go book it, you wont be disappointed.

No host details are shared with us. Only housekeeping details shared and the number and email not reachable. House needs deep cleaning. Folder for property was too detailed. Need to simplify.
