"The room was lovely and spacious, the staff were amazing, the service in the dining room was excellent. Parking is limited but we were lucky all 3 days. Loved the hotel. The shower needs some edging to catch the water from spreading over the floor (drainage worked fine) We were at the hotel for 3 nights and loved every minute. Thank you"

"The room is very well appointed, with everything you need, yet still retaining its lovely period character. Everything is of good quality. There is no breakfast served but there is a good sized fridge for milk etc. and a good selection of snacks, teas and coffees in the drawer. Help carrying my luggage up and down stairs was very much appreciated too! Thank you."

10/10 Excellent
"What a fabulous spot views for miles in every direction.the house is comfortable and we had a very happy stay here. this is being very picky we loved our stay but these are the things I would recommend. Cushions for the kitchen chairs they are very hard. Better organisation of the kitchen draws it looks like it is all just thrown in needs dividers. Get more stuff of the work tops very little space to cook in. Downstairs shower is very good but it does not feel clean in there although I am sure someone would have scrubbed it. Having said all that I would definitely go back at a cheaper time of year."

10/10 Excellent
"We had just the best time. We negotiated the track several times (thank you Audi Quattro). When we arrived, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Spacious and pleasantly cool, as it was a very hot day. We walked from the property out onto the hills to photograph the beautiful landscape We absolutely loved the tranquility of the place, which is part of its remoteness. We are thinking about going back! We left a note for Laura."
