Large spacious bedrooms, tastefully decorated and high end finishing. The hot tub was a great addition to our stay. Great location for pubs, a local shop for supplies and a range of walks.

It had everything we wanted - spotlessly clean and appointed to a very high standard. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances we could have asked for. It was all really lovely, we didnât want to leave! Nicola and Kyle were very welcoming. There was a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge and plenty of tea bags! We would definitely like to return.
