We had a very good weekend away for our anniversary. The walks around were picturesque, and the local pubs served great food. The place was very tidy, homely and secluded for a quiet getaway. The hot tub was a great addition for relaxing in.

A beautiful property that has everything you need for a relaxing break. Chris was a great host. This is our second visit and won't be our last !!

Great mini-break for us, its local and secluded, perfect.thx again Chris.

We had an outstanding time at Hawthorne Lodge. The communication was wonderful and the place looks even better in real life than it does in the pictures. Chris stands out from every other stay we've been on as it is clearly an ongoing labour of love for him. He has clearly made a big effort to implement all the improvements he can think of and his effort is not unrewarded. It truly makes for an amazing stay. It's secluded and remote, with a lovely series of walks nearby, plenty of great nearby pubs in manor houses and about 10 supermarkets within 15-20 minutes. And of course.. Hot Tub!! Chris was so kind to leave us some treats on our arrival too, he truly thought of everything. We have already recommended it to many friends and are planning our next trip. Thanks again!
