Paul is a really friendly and very helpful host. Our 2 night stay, was very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed. We had privacy and peace throughout. The Annex is clean, well maintained, practical and also spacious. Unwinding here was simple and if that is what you are looking for, you cannot go wrong by staying here. Me and my partner are already planning on returning.
A beautiful, quiet setting with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Paul did everything he could to make our stay relaxing. The only slight drawback which he wasn’t able to affect was intermittent Wi-Fi, but didn’t affect our stay too much as we were looking for a quiet retreat.

Thank you for your kind words and it was a pleasure to host you both - apologies the internet dropped - something were looking into but do have challenges at times due to our rural location. Look forward to hosting you again in the future.
I really enjoyed my stay here. Couldn’t fault anything. Hot tub was great and the communication with the owner was spot on. Anything we needed help with was sorted within minutes. Would definitely stay again.
