We had everything we needed , the hot tub was well used as was the log burner. Lots of goodies were left for us by the Hosts who were helpful and very approachable . Not forgetting Gus who was adorable. Would highly recommend and will be returning.

Such a warm welcome from the owner. The accommodation is outstanding, comfy, so clean, had everything (and more) required for our stay. Special mention for Gus, their working sheepdog he's so friendly and amazing to watch at work. Nothing at all to fault with this holiday home we had the best time, thank you.
