Ideal place for a week of peace and relaxation. Although I had no issues with it, just got to make sure you are comfortable with driving on country lanes as there's no other way to get there. But then for us it was apart of what made is so nice. Was also nice to be in such a rural place as we even got to see the northern lights which was a massive plus. Everything you could possibly want and need was there. Would recommend and go go back if we were ever in the area again.

The location is very quiet and peaceful with plenty to see in the local area. I particularly liked the little touches like great kitchen utensils and general facilities. I found the parking is fine and the bed was really comfortable. I would be more than happy, and probably will, stay here again.

The property was immaculate throughout and everything had been thought of. There was a lovely welcome tray for us and the dog. We didnât have particularly good weather during our stay but this did not stop us enjoying the property, walks and nearby towns. The walks listed by the owners were perfect and of different durations. Myself and my arthritic German Shepherd were able to complete the 1 hour walk with plenty to see and the river for him to lay in!!! before returning to a lovely evening on the decking with a few bottles of locally brewed ales. Initial email from the owners a day or two before arrival with directions and other information was great. We had no cause to contact the owners at all while away as everything was just perfect. A truly lovely hideaway for two and a four legged friend with the constant noise in the background of the flowing river. A must for anyone seeking a relaxing break surrounded by nature and not wanting for anything. No problems with phone signal or WiFi. Tv was perfect and we were able to watch a few films on Netflix whilst away. Parking at the property is no problem at all. A big thumbs up to the owners, you have created a gem of a place.
