Patricia
Everything was spotlessly clean and very high end quality. The owner was nearby if needed and easy to contact. The property was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. We were there as a family of 7, aged 21 - 87. A grab rail near the toilet and inside the shower would have been really helpful for my parents, and we found to hot water to be too hot but apart from that everything was perfect. It was a wonderful stay.

Jane was very welcoming and friendly host. We found the property to be an excellent base for all our daily activities. It was also very reassuring that shoes were to be kept at the front door. It definitely reflected how clean the property was throughout. We had a very enjoyable stay and the property was fantastic for us as a family.

Jane and Angus the owners what a lovely couple, they have thought of everything you could ask for. The full house was immaculately clean and had everything you needed to have a wonderful stay. The interior design in the house was lovely and well thought out. A beautiful garden with lovely seating zones to enjoy the scenery and even a fir pit what more could you ask for. There is so much to see and do in the area. What a lovely relaxing holiday we had and didn't want to leave. So looking forward to booking with you again. Thank you Jane and Angus
