Could not be more thrilled with this property, it was perfect. The size of the property was fantastic for our group of 9 and the hot tub/games room was loved. Sheep at the edge of the garden and plenty of valuable information on local walking trails was ideal. Thank you so much for having us, we would return in a heartbeat.

Absolutely perfect house for a group of 10 nurses to have a pre Christmas weekend away. Cannot fault anything. Communication with the owners was great and their recommendation of a local pub for a meal was fantastic!
