Couldnât fault anything. The hot tub was incredible and the enjoying the homemade bread in the mornings before taking our dog on a walk was the perfect start to the morning. The owners couldnât be anymore helpful and we are looking at coming back again in 2025!

The facilities were great - the bed was really comfy, decent kitchenette and the hot tub was lovely. The log fire was a nice touch as well. Heather and Graeme were fantastic hosts, they made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to go the extra mile for us and made our stay extra special. We would definitely visit again.
