"This was my Christmas gift to one branch of my family. We stay nearby and accommodated our family in two of Sandford's Country Cottages over Christmas. It was a perfect location and opportunity for a family gathering. The cottages are magnificent and the service provided first class."

"Third stay and as fantastic as ever. Will undoubtedly be back again. Glad I wasn't asked for suggestions for improvements as I couldn't think of any!"

"Truly, this has been the highlight of our trip to the UK. Evelyn and Ralph have done a superb job refurbishing Sanford House! It is exquisite. Each 'cottage' is beautifully constructed and appointed with excellent appliances, linens, heating -- all the comforts of home and then some! We feel so welcome, and cosy, we may never leave!"

"Fabulous apartment with 5 star luxury in a glorious setting close to everything from fine beaches to historical wonders. A family of 5 are comfortable, happy and not in each other's way. Long walks, many varieties of birds and a superbly restored arts and crafts house. What more can you ask for. Definite 5 stars!"
