The first thing that struck me was the location, offering serene woodland views and the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Some great pubs, restaurants, walks, and tourist destinations within a 10 minute drive. The bungalow itself was much larger than the pictures had led me to believe, providing space for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Everything was spotless and tidy upon arrival, and the host had thoughtfully provided all the expected amenities, ensuring we had everything we needed. Accessing the property was a breeze, thanks to the large driveway that easily accommodated three vehicles. The fully gated and fenced garden added an extra layer of privacy and security, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay, and it certainly beat my expectations. I would highly recommend this bungalow to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, natural setting. This is a must stay location if you have pets or young children. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley Nov 2, 2025 ##### Lesley Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [Spacious 3-bed House in Brighton With Parking](https://www.expedia.ca/Brighton-Hotels-Stunning-3-Bed-House-In-Brighton.h102317245.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Billy's Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Billys-Place.h100848013.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > > [Hazelnut Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Crediton-Hotels-Hazelnut-Lodge.h102321676.Hotel-Information) > > [Preston Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brighton-Hotels-Preston-Park-Hotel.h34313.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [Geckos Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Newquay-Hotels-Geckos-Rest.h15179653.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodite Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Bradford-Hotels-Aphrodite-Suites.h39637625.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Hedley Villa Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Leamington-Spa-Hotels-Hedley-Villa-Guest-House.h22880933.Hotel-Information) > > [Bird Lake Pastures 2 Bedrooms 2 Baths ](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Bird-Lake-Pastures-2-Bedrooms-2-Baths.h103059033.Hotel-Information) > > [Friars House, Stafford by BELL Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Stafford-Hotels-Friars-House.h100973898.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Georgian, Haslemere, Surrey](https://www.expedia.ca/Haslemere-Hotels-Georgian-Hotel.h1452110.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ceramic House](https://www.expedia.ca/Brighton-Hotels-The-Ceramic-House.h48609992.Hotel-Information) > > [Haven House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Havenhousehotel.h99912869.Hotel-Information) > > [Seacote Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Bees-Hotels-Seacote-Hotel.h15731415.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pelican Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Marlborough-Hotels-The-Pelican-Inn.h12385143.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Church Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Shifnal-Hotels-Church-Farm-BB.h13463452.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roost](https://www.expedia.ca/Camborne-Hotels-The-Roost.h44511585.Hotel-Information) > > [Middle Flass Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Clitheroe-Hotels-Middle-Flass-Lodge.h4531075.Hotel-Information)
