  • Christine

    Great location for walking with and without a car and also for the steamer which was well worth using to get to certain locations. Very well equipped for a group that enjoyed lots of self catering. Able to make use of the outside space as the weather so lovely One thought is whilst we always closed the gates when we were out for security we soon realised it might be more about stopping stray cows coming in on their way with the farmer. We watched a farmer close them on our behalf!

  • Paul

    It was very comfortable and beautifully clean, well equipped and the views superb.

  • Tom

    Kitchen equipment lacking a few essentials (small fry pan, bread knife). No music speakers that I could find.
