Short break travelling up from Devon with hubby, 86 yr old father in law and Dottie our Border Terrier, visiting family. The property is lovely, dog friendly and disabled friendly (through the floor lift, downstairs loo and extra large modern shower in upstairs family bathroom). Deceptively large property in a lovely rural area with fantastic views. The 2nd reception room (parlour) was handy when grandkids came over for a couple of hours so we could play games in there. I’m sure this room could also be doubled up as a 3rd bedroom should you bring along an inflatable bed.
Very cosy property, large windows and very light and airy.
Locally - Amazing dog walks on the doorstep at the country park just a couple of minutes down the road. (down Fir Tree road opposite the house, straight across the road to Woodpark Lane and then just before the road narrows on the right is the entrance to Florence Country Park. Great for the kids too and right on the door step!
If you don’t fancy cooking (like us) New Florence ( Greene King Pub and Carvery)is just down the road by the roundabout on Lightwood Road, offers a lovely carvery, play park and wacky warehouse to keep the kids entertained. Next door to it there’s also a Co-op and chip shop. Not sure what angle the couple of negative comments were coming from, but you can’t please everyone is suppose!
As they say, ‘the proof is in the pudding’, from reading the guest book and VrBo comments, this property has a huge amount of 3 and 4 time repeat visitors from many countries.
A great home from home whether for couples, families , pets or people with mobility issues. Exceptional value for money!
