Fiona
The view from the front of the house is stunning and the house itself is very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and the owner was very friendly. We would recommend staying at Pinegarth to anyone.
Edward
Beautiful views, comfortable home & the peace & quiet too. Jill's cafe just up the road is well worth a visit at week-ends. We had no issues getting our large car in the gate.
Jean
The garden and views were lovely. You need to have lunch at Jillâs just up the road. Good base to see the county, The only downside for us was the gateway to the driveway only 5cm each side of the car, so we parked on the grass verge outside the property.
