Fabulous Property - five stars
Graham, our host, has built the perfect holiday cottage. Well planned, amazingly well equiped. This is by far the best self catering property that we've ever stayed in, and they've been many in New Zealand, France, Italy, Britain and the Scotland. The amount of wildlife in the area is wonderful. An added bonus, is the house is close to everywhere you'd want to visit but also out of traffic and flight paths.

A beautiful place to stay
We had a wonderful time and Graham was a great host, always on hand if we needed anything and providing ideas of things to do. The house is well equipped and has everything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. We loved the location, being close to lots of walks and within reasonable driving distance of attractions further afield. We could sit and watch the wildlife from the garden, spend time outside in nature and switch off, which is just what we needed.

Family holiday
The property was exactly as described, clean, spacious and well equipped and the host Graham was a really nice guy. Our granddaughter really loved the large garden and the woodlands and was amazed by the local wildlife which came into the Garden and which we could view from the house, many birds which included pheasant, woodpeckers various finches, crows and sparrows, red squirrel and deer. The location was great very quiet and relaxing but only a 15 minute drive from the local towns and beaches. We had a great holiday and may well come back to this property in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Doyles

Host profile image
I am over 60, and moved to the country to enjoy a nice quiet life. I take pride in my property and this shows in both the grounds and houses alike.

Why they chose this property

I moved to the area in 2002 and it seemed to be a nice location with the cottage surrounded by woodlands and loads of wildlife. After living here for a few years I got planning permission to build a second house on an elevated location on the property with spectactular views, which I completed in 2011. I feel it's a beautiful place for a rest and relaxing break for a large family with plenty of space in the woods and garden for children and big kids to play.

What makes this property unique

The house is well equiped with practically everything you would have in your own home. There is plenty of space in the house for the rainy days and over 5 acres of woodland and lawn for the sunny days. There is internet and smart tv but on the down side there is limited mobile signal, but then this could also be a bonus! (there is a landline available upon request).
