Samuel
The property is great, the location is great and the owner too. If you wanna recharge your batteries, get refreshed completely in an isolated place, this is the place. The house is very tidy, clean, comfortable, and it has everything you need to have a good time such as a hot tub, a nice shower, very comfortable beds and pillows, nice sofas, with Netflix, and an adorable fire place. The owner is very friendly, responsive and supportive. I do recommend very strongly this place.
Andrea
We had a lovely weekend here as a group of four friends looking for some rest and relaxation. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The lounge was very comfortable and big enough to get the yoga mats out. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The owners were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. All in all it was a fabulous weekend and the house was gorgeous. Thank you!
Barbara
Very well equipped throughout. Especially in the kitchen, lots of utensils and baking trays, bowls etc. Useful and generous welcome pack with dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods plus goodies. The hot tub was always warm and cleaned every day. Great views from the house. For me, the highlight is the wood burner, there were long matches, thick gloves, a good supply of dry logs and a metal bin for the Ashes! A great holiday for all. Thanks.
Samantha
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The hosts were welcoming and on hand if needed. The stunning surroundings made for a truly memorable experience. They catered to guests of all ages, making it perfect for our family. The hot tub was a luxurious touch, allowing us to unwind. With ample space to comfortably accommodate our family of seven, we couldnt have asked for a better getaway. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and relaxation!
Beautiful views. Fantastic hot tub and clean, bright decor.

Alison
Very nice house in a great location. Best feature was the hot tub. Would go again.
Caroline
Already provided her with our feedback. A lovely cottage with a great hot tub and amazing views. Would love to go back
Contact with the owners was effortless and I always had prompt responses. We even got in a bit early on arrival day thanks to a swift turnaround. The house was beautiful inside and had everything you needed. The hot tub and firepit BBQ gave hours of outdoor entertainment, all whilst we overlooked the beautiful panorama of the local area, including all of the new lambs. To top it off, the lemon drizzle cake mentioned in previous reviews did not disappoint! It was a lovely gesture that was very much appreciated. All round 1010. See you next year! Nick
A wonderful house in a beautiful, quiet location. Fantastic host. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need being provided. Just perfect.
This property more than met our expectations! Seven of us were easily accommodated without feeling cramped. Plenty of space and all the facilities we needed. The hot tub was fantastic, even in the drizzle! And the quietness, views and walks in the surrounding countryside were wonderful. Would certainly return. Thank you.
Karen Parkes

Can't fault this property or the owners, absolutely loved our stay. Thank you!
Edward
Great house for a large family gettogether over Christmas week. Well laid out, clean and comfortable, and a relaxing house to spend time in. We cooked for ourselves all week and ate around the large round sociable dining table. The bathrooms were all of a high standard. Quiet location with good nearby walking. The owners were friendly and helpful prior to and during our stay. Would recommend it and stay there again.
Darren
Beautiful house, immaculately clean, set in stunning surroundings. Kate is a lovely host, very attentive and communicative. Hot tub is a great plus as is the beautiful log burner! Definitely recommend
Rachel
The property was fantastic. Very clean, well equipped. I loved the fact there was a fire place and a lovely choice of books and toys that my baby thoroughly enjoyed playing with
Just back from a wonderful girls weekend at this incredible property. The house was immaculate and spotlessly clean. The beds are super comfy and the log burner with logs provided added to the warmth and comfort. The welcome basket was so thoughtful and we all said the lemon drizzle cake was the best weve ever tasted. A very rural location which was perfect to relax and ease away any stresses in the hot tub. We will definitely be returning!
Beverley
The property was great for us. We loved being out in the countryside, no neighbours, gorgeous views from every window and the hot tub. The dining table was larger than expected and 8 of us sat comfortably around it. It was very clean and well equipped. We had such a wonderful relaxing weekend. Thankyou so much.
