    Lynne was easy to get hold off when we had accouple of queries. Quiet location with stunning views but the steep approaching hill was very challenging and wouldn't suit everyone. Thank you for a lovely stay!

  • Tracey

    We celebrated my husband's 60th here with family. The house is spacious, airy and clean.The kitchen is very well equpped.There was a welcome pack on our arrival which was a lovely touch. Even the dogs had a little treat. The house is beautifully furnished and the staircase is quite spectacular. The views are beautiful, looking down into the valley and over the dam. We saw deer, geese and a heron. Not to mention the horses who are opposite the back door. Such a peaceful spot. Lynne the owner was very easy to contact and very accommodating. The hill to access the property is very steep but if you follow the instructions you will be fine. Plenty of parking for our party. Just wish we'd had more time to spend at the house but we had a busy schedule with the many things to do in the area. Such a lovely part of the country with lovely, friendly people. We couldn't have wished for a better weekend
