Guests have described the house as spotless and very clean. One review mentioned the oven and garden cushions being less clean, but this seems to be an isolated comment amidst overall high praise for cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted for its stunning views and peacefulness, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing holiday. Its proximity to local attractions and the town is also appreciated.
The property is repeatedly noted for its comfort, with spacious rooms and enough space for both adults and children. The secure garden and cosy atmosphere, even during inclement weather, contribute to the comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities are highly regarded, especially the well-equipped games room. Some guests found the AGA oven challenging and a minor issue with garden maintenance was noted. However, the overall sentiment is that the house is very well equipped.
Several reviews mention a welcome package, indicating the owners' thoughtfulness. While such gestures are warmly received, it's important to note that these are complimentary and subject to the owners' discretion.

The views were spectacular. The garden is very secure and safe. The children liked the games room and spent alot of time playing chess. As this is a dark sky area there was a telescope. We were a multi generational family of 10 and all our needs were met.

Spotless on arrival and extremely well equipped. The games room was popular with the children and especially when it was raining! The views were gorgeous and the area very quiet & peaceful, all rooms were spacious apart from the bunk bedroom but fine for the children. Plenty of storage - we all thought it was the best holiday rental we have stayed in together so far!
