"Sheila and Bryan Couldn’t Do Enough For Us"

Five chaps from Wigan went for a fishing holiday. Bryan and Sheila looked after us like family and couldn’t do enough for us.  Bryan showed us the best places to fish  He even lent us his tractor to take our gear over the fields!   You couldn’t fault the rooms and the food.  Thank you for a very enjoyable stay we will be back!
