Host Information

Host review score
Mallard s Retreat is situated in a field with its own access, surrounded by rolling countryside with our Sheep grazing in the field by the property. It is very private facing out across the fields and unspoilt countryside beyond.
We are very rural therefore we do not have any neighbours on our side of the lane. We are surrounded by our own grounds set in 23 acres so is very private. The lane is quite quiet and we have mainly agricultural traffic passing through.
