A fantastic stay in the beautiful cake house within the wonderful surroundings or Cawton. The setting was perfect for a peaceful bank holiday get away.
The cake house was larger than seemed on the photos, spacious, very comfortable full of amenities and spotlessly clean. The pool table was an added bonus.
Jen was a wonderful host, very responsive and the house is packed with ideas of local things to do. The fairfax pub was an unexpected treat with a delicious meal within walking distance.
Overall we (family of 4 adults & 1 child) have had a lovely stay and can't recommend the Cake house high enough. Thank you Jen for letting us stay.
