We have come home completely relaxed and re-energised. We will be recommending this property to our friends and family. One thing I would change would be the height of the bed and a firmer mattress like we have at home, but this didn't detract any experiences we had during our break.

The first stay was in February when the weather was cold and crisp and the second in a very hot September! We were so pleased to experience both, as the fire was perfect for feb and the garden was lovely in the sunshine. The hot tub was useable in both conditions. You have everything you need here, the hosts are very welcoming and easily contactable should you need anything but otherwise let you get on with your stay and you donât see them. There was lovely little finishing touches like fresh scones, jam and cream. A toy and playmat was even provided for our little one, as well as high chair and cot. They have an egg shed next to their house with fresh chicken eggs available. The lodge is a short walk into the village which is really sweet and a small community. All the cottages look lovely and the village is really nicely looked after. We paid a trip to the ring of bells pub which only took us 25mins to walk to. This is one of the recommended pubs, we didnât know what to expect but it was nice and cosy, a traditional style pub but if you are looking for proper pub grub this would not be the place, the food here is restaurant standard and more gourmet than your typical pie and mash. The half moon inn has a really nice beer garden which we recommend you check out if the weather is nice! And the fishermanâs cot pub is more of your typical pub grub food and is located on a stream which is really cool to sit by the window and enjoy watching the water flow by. All in all, this staycation is 10/10!
