We had a lovely peaceful week at Ash hill. It wasn't too far from the local shops. It was very clean and lovely outside space. Had everything you could possibly need. We took a person we support away but I would go back there myself.
Good space and facilities. Very warm and clean and well equipped. The things that let it down were superficial but annoying . Two of the toilet seats needed tightening up and the fridge door opened away from the user.You kept having to remember to go to the other side to open the fridge.Sounds a bit carping but you did ask!!

This is our sixth visit to Midgham, but our first stay in Ash Hill.
This is our sixth visit to Midgham, but our first stay in Ash Hill. It was absolutely beautiful with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen has everything you need, the bed was so comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. You really appreciate the peace and quiet here.Our only negative is it was too hot, the heating is controlled centrally so there is no way of adjusting. Even after opening windows it was still too warm. However, we love it here and will be booking our seventh visit in the near future.

This is possibly the best place IĂąâŹâąve stayed in for years.
This is possibly the best place IĂąâŹâąve stayed in for years. A couple of very minor winges, there were a few cobwebs that could have been removed. Also the heating was way too high which meant we had to open all the windows. Obviously this is a personal choice but if weĂąâŹâąd had control of it weĂąâŹâąd have been able to turn it off for a while.These are small things and overall the property is fantastic.
