Perfect place to get some peace and quiet away from the normal stresses of life! Really thoughtful welcoming touches - tea, coffee, wine, biscuits, milk etc. Though we did not see the owners we knew that they were nearby if we needed them. The accommodation was very cosy, the reclining chair was extra comfy and the shower was perfect! No complaints at all would happily recommend to friends and family.

Took our 2 dogs and they loved it too. Very clean and well equipped. Need a car to get around the area but you do most places. Would highly recommend
