I booked it for the family inc 2 toddlers & 3 dogs for my sisters 60th bday. Well it blew us away the moment we walked through the door. It has been furnished to such a high standard loved the mezzanine floor & the original saw mills . The amount of space in each room was amazing especially the living & dining rooms. The place was spotlessly clean & we spent each nite in the hot tub. My only criticism is there isnt an outside light by the hot tub. The outside gardens were great for the dogs & even had sheep as our neighbours. I would recommend this property over & over again & we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay

My daughter got locked in her bedroom. Another bedroom and bathroom door didnt close. The showers overflowed and the toilet backflowed into them. We had problems with the heating. The tempature dropped to -2c the house was freezing. The Thermostat upstairs read at 15.9c whilst downstairs was 13c. The hot tub was dirty and smelt. Know instructions was left for appliances. Garden furniture was soaked the whole vist. The gate wouldn't close as the wall is ready to collapse. Calls and texts was ignored. I have photos and video's to show the problems. Rubbish hadn't been collected from previous guests

Thank you so much . The house is absolutely stunning. Very spacious and comfortable and we loved the quirkiness of the saw mill . We were disappointed that there was no lighting in the hot tub/bbq area making it a hazard after dark. Also storage for the cushions would be an idea as they were unfortunately soaking wet during our whole stay. We had 4 dogs who enjoyed the big spacious gardens however as the front gate was broken off its hinges we had to drag it across and put boxes in the gaps to stop the dogs going on to the road. Overall, me and my family had a fabulous weekend.
