Lovely clean house. Straightforward to find and really warm on our arrival. Plenty of space for 9 friends. The owner sent several messages and responded very quickly to ours. We would love to stay again.

Everyone had a fantastic time which was largely due to the quality and facilities of the house. Already looking at a potential return. Thank you to Louise who responded instantly to any questions we might have had. Great walks right from your doorstep and two very good pubs ( Bucks Head , Shoe Inn ) a short walking distance away.

Comfortable lounges and bedrooms. Just a shame the kitchen is a bit small for gathering as a group. Lovely country views and hot tub. Good pubs and walks close by.
