It is an ideal place to stay if you love walking. Me and my dog clocked up some serious miles, and saw some wonderful wildlife. The farmhouse is a lovely place to relax and unwind. We had days where we didn't go out; we lit the fires (there was a plentiful supply of wood), did some reading and just enjoyed the view. We had a mini crisis while staying there, and the manager and owner of the farmhouse were very helpful and supportive. We are very grateful for that. We will be regular visitors.

Very comfortable beds and bedding. But the property requires some maintenance. It is looking very tired. The gardens are very overgrown and no working WI-FI although it was advertised as having it.

It is in an excellent position, the bed was comfortable and the house warm and pleasant. However, generally speaking the place is a bit tired, particularly the bathroom and kitchen white goods (the fridge decided to freeze everything on our second night) and could do with some updating. On arrival the central heating did not work and neither did the WiFi. We contacted Shane and the next day both problems were sorted out by himself and BT. The central light in the bathroom did not work but that was not a problem as the mirror light was sufficient.
