The open plan layout downstairs was comfortable with plenty of room for 4 people. The central heating made it very cosy for a cool wet week in October, and there was the added bonus of a log burner with wood available, if required. The hot tub is shared between all 4 units, but this wasn't a problem as there was a booking schedule if busy (it wasn't!) The bedrooms were well furnished with plenty of storage to put any luggage away, the bed was comfortable and extra pillows were in the wardrobe. The owners were friendly and available if required, but not intrusive. All in all, a very enjoyable holiday set in beautiful scenery.

We had a lovely stay here it was very clean and had a very warm welcome. The hot tub was a big plus and was lovely to relax in at the end of the day. The nearest village is quite small and whilst there the chippy was shut and one of the pubs shut early so we did have to travel a bit further for some variety of food. Apart from local village which is a 5 min drove I wouldn’t recommend walking down the road as no footpath and fast traffic. We loved the property and did enjoy the peace and quiet but was a little too rural for us. But would highly recommend here as a place to stay for visiting different places and if u like rambling it’s wonderful 👍 ##### Maria This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie 7 Jun 2019 #### I think I pressed 1 by mistake somewhere.
