    Spent a great weeks family holiday at The Garth. Accommodation was spotless, off a high standard, and was one of the best equipped rental property that we have stayed in. The farm animals and games room were an added bonus for our three grand children. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay, in beautiful countryside.Roland & Ellen Honeybunn
