We have stayed her on two previous occasions and our third stay did not disappoint, the kitchen has been updated and now boasts a small dishwasher together with a more conventional sink. Two Christmas Trees made for a Festive welcome and we were greeted by the warm and friendly custodians of this exceptional property which they maintain in immaculate condition on behalf of NWT. We enjoyed the wildlife from the front door and explored the local area and stunning landscapes. National Trust properties with seasonal decorations were a highlight. Warm and comfortable property!

Their kindnes and generosity made the stay truly special, a lovely peaceful weekend and a comfy environment to sit back and relax in. Definitely recommend!
