Myself and my dog stayed for a week in this quaint village! Sounds of the running stream were very relaxing whilst sitting on the decking. The indoor outdoor living added to the chill vibes. Extremely well equipped and very clean. The hosts on call at all times if needed. I would 100% recommend a stay here if you are looking for rest and relaxation.

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.
