FABULOUS STAY IN SELF-CATERING COTTAGE

*****

I fell across Wells House self catering accommodation online by accident really and we were so glad. We had a really lovely stay. The newly renovated accommodation is lovely. It had everything we needed. After the gates close to the public we had the grounds to ourselves more or less. There were a few other cottages occupied but we saw very few people. It was so peaceful. It was very good value for money we felt. The staff were lovely and helpful. The kids loved the animals, the walks and the playground. We attended the teddy bears picnic which the kids loved. We thought this place was a real hidden gem. We will definitely be back
