We stayed in the property for work, hence I marked down on value for money solely for that reason. However, it really is a fantastic house and location for anyone looking to visit the area. You needn’t bring anything to the house, everything you could possibly need for your stay is already there, and all of very good quality. Highly recommended from myself and the team. ### 10/10 Excellent #### sophie d. 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful house for a multi generational family holiday This house is spacious, beautifully decorated and really well equipped.

Beautiful house set in picturesque scenery with everything we needed and more! The house itself is beautiful with no expense spared and a real attention to detail - comfortable and spacious with a wonderful mix of traditional features and all the mod cons. The surroundings and views are stunning - such a peaceful place to spend a break, coupled with bbq and hot tub it was exactly what we needed and we will definitely be back!

Very easy to find, up a beautiful drive with plenty of space for parking, playing, relaxing front & back of the house, for bbq & relaxing by the hot-tub. Inside with beautiful furnishings, very well equipped kitchen, & a delicious breakfast pack which we all enjoyed. We had plenty of space for us all throughout the house.
