The rooms are very nice and well kept, and for the breakfast the hosts absolutely crushed it, every time. Every single meal we had at Oakfold was incredible. Everything was consistently perfect (literally). Highly highly recommend Oakfold House, and many thanks for making us so welcomed during our wonderful stay with you.
