Lovely property

We loved our stay at Shinnel House. The garden really is lovely and we enjoyed staying home every other day. It was big enough for our family of 7 and had everything we needed.

Perfect stay in nature.

We enjoyed the stay very much. A beautiful property with a small river and lots of wildlife. Just the thing for nature lovers. The kitchen was well equipped, so self-catering was easy.
