The house was beautiful and the views from it were spectacular. It was well stocked with everything that we needed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. It was a great base for exploring during the day and relaxing in the evening. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Enough bathrooms for a large group, the house and kitchen is so well equipped for a lovely stay, we enjoyed a lot the outdoors as we have very lucky with the weather but the living room with fireplace was extremely cosy too. We would definitely recommend this large house for a group of 8 to 10. The communication with Fiona the housekeeper for check in / check out was super easy and everything straight forward.
