First time stay, we had to arrive later than planned and Suzanna could not have been more helpful and accommodating. She is by far and away the best host we've ever had the pleasure to stay with. The House is gorgeous, total house envy, Suzanna certainly has an eye for detail. The room was cosy and comfortable, the room had everything and more that you could need. The view from the room was stunning, the room had plenty of light and windows, the bed comfy, a separate seating area, lovely bathroom and a mini fridge fully stocked but we co-opted for local produce that otherwise we couldn't have bought as it wouldn't have kept overnight. So that was very helpful. The choice for breakfast was ample, we went for yoghurt, compote and fruit both mornings. The first morning as we had a heavy food day planned, the second because after you have her fresh fruit salad that's what you'll want day two. Some lovely walks on the doorstep, we took a 3 mile trundle on the second morning, Suzanna gave some great tips and a map to view for our planning. In easy reach of Wendover and you walk it pretty much all off road in picturesque surroundings, I was on Rightmove within the first walk into Wendover (a 15 min walk). Finally the garden that I presume Suzanna attends to, you'd not be surprised to see it on the front cover of Country Living magazine. Very insect friendly, purple flowers for all the pollinators, super green. Not accommodation related but other things we did and enjoyed: No2 Pound Street Cheese Couse Level 1, not too heavy going for people who like cheese and just fancy doing something different. They run many events, check their website if you plan a trip as you may be able to fit in one of these. The Chequers Inn - 6 Course tasting menu in a quaint country pub, the food is lovely and we thought reasonably priced for what you get. Note: they have a dress code and it's firmly upheld so just take a nosey and pack accordingly. (50 mins walk or 7 mins drive from Hale House)
