Special place in English Countryside

What a beautiful location and property! The ability to take the train to London and come back to the countryside, pet horses and enjoy peace and quiet (and eat at the Packhorse twice in 5 nights) was a great way to do London. Train access was cakewalk and logisitics in the local town were simple. Highly recommend and many thanks to our hosts”
