A lovely setting with lots of sun and bird calls. An amazing selection of books and DVDs etc. Great to be able to take our Border Collie and we enjoyed sitting in front of a woodburner. We hope to come and stay again before long.

We had a lovely stay at this property for our girls weekend away. Handy location to town, peaceful, comfy beds and lots of extra blankets. The fire had been set for us and plenty of extra wood to keep us warm. Some of the appliances could use a little tlc, but overall was a great stay

Great pet friendly property in a quiet location. Awesome communication from host and easy check-in. Lovely fire with heat transfer kept us nice and warm all night. Master bedroom had plenty of room for us to fit a portacot. Beds were firmer than we were used to but we all had a great sleep as we were still super comfy.
