  • Joanne

    The location and views are fantastic! The property and facilities are comfortable and clean. Angus was brilliant! Would thoroughly recommend!

  • Joel

    Couldn't fault a thing, and the caretaker Angus was fantastic start to finish. Highly recommended and would book again.

  • Lauren

    Everything we could have needed and more, high quality kitchenware and amazing pillows (that I’m now buying for home!). Angus was lovely and the house was perfect for us, it’s a shame we couldn’t make full use of the garden due to weather but the views are stunning. Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area and quiet despite being on the main road and next to the railway line. Would love to visit again one day; my daughter was actually quite upset when she realised we had to leave!
