The house has been in the family for over 100 years and is a remaining part of a deserted medieval village. The 2 lakes, the wildlife and beautiful countryside make it an idyllic place to stay.
I love animals and especially horses. I am passionate about making sure that my horses enjoy being with me as much as I enjoy being with them.
South Northamptonshire has been voted 3rd best County in the country to live in and is a bit like the Cotswolds without the tourists! We are central for many attractions to suit all age groups and needs as well as perfect for business travellers.
