9/10 Wonderful! (4 reviews)
The host Adrian is amazing, friendly and informative in places to see and do. The Carriage House is well equipped with everything for a self catering holiday, plus washing machine and dryer. Adrian showed us all his vintage cars and horse carriages. Lions Brewery harnesses marked with emblem and the original wagon has pride of place.. I loved the Gypsy van❤️ Adrian has his first car on hand with others- White Ghost Rolls Royce sparkling like new . It was a great honour to view these cars and hear the stories from Adrian.
