Very spacious, lovely big kitchen, kids loved the games room, dogs loved the big garden, everyone loved the hot tub. Remote location, but terrific views, which is the reward for the rather hairy drive up a steep single track road. Overall, highly recommended.

..the secure garden for our dog was excellent. The rooms were all lovely and clean and the games room was a winner. Cannot fault this property at all and we will definitely be coming back here again

Great quiet location Beds very comfy, we had a very restful stay Just a couple of things we thought could be useful, hooks in bathroom to hang your towels on, and also in downstairs cloaks. Also a mirror in the 4th bedroom would be helpful Only minor points as everything else was lovely
