United KingdomOur favourite accommodation out of 6 we stayed in. So much history in your actual room as well as through the window and in the dining room. Absolutely ancient but exceptionally clean and comfortable. We arrived before check in but hosts were happy for kids to kick a ball around in the garden, and dance on the deck. They kindly made up an extra bed as we had completed the booking form incorrectly. Not many dining options nearby so we went to supermarket 20 mins up the road and then had a picnic sitting on benches outside all the medieval buildings, watching the birds and soaking up the atmosphere, before the kids went off to the swings and entertained themselves. We had the whole place to ourselves until later in the evening. This was my favourite evening of our whole holiday.
Other guests arrived later and more on our second day. Everyone was very friendly and we enjoyed the company.
Our first morning was rainy so after breakfast of bread and home made wood oven rolls with delicious dandelion honey and homemade marmalade we settled down to hear the family history. It was interesting and really brought the buildings to life. The wardrobe in our bedroom was from 1658 (or similar - can’t exactly remember now). Then we were allowed to go inside the store house on stilts that we had a view of from
Our bedroom. Unbelievable!!! We even went upstairs. Fascinating, so old and we had full access. Amazing- even the kids were really impressed and awed by the experience. We booked dinner for the second night and had very enjoyable plate of potato salad (maybe with slight curry powder?) cold meats and cold scrambled egg. Portions plenty big enough with local thin bread. We had a great day at the Draisine in Veggli and enjoyed the cosy evening playing card games while the newer guests listened to the history of the house.
Hosts were incredibly accommodating - let us move fridge so we could use (sorry we forgot to take the last bits with us) Friendly but never too much.
