    Fantastic house and location.

  • Confirmed Guest

    Absolutely fantastic place to stay, beautiful house and gardens, with a lovely cosy homely feel and had every single item we needed and so much more.We all wanted to live there, and noone wanted to leave after our weekend away. The house has 2 sides, with 2 bedrooms on each, so great for a a couple of families to share, bigger families too- or like ours, a mix of ages. So makes it feel very spacious and having 2 living areas, lots of seating in and out was great. The location is fab too, stunning scenery from every window, surrounded by beautiful walks, and a lovely river shaded river nearby to paddle in if hot- which is was!Will def be back in the future 🥰

    Beautiful, quiet location and a gorgeous house. Lots of walks nearby. Fantastic garden, which the kids absolutely loved and a stream to paddle in a few minutes walk away. The kids made friends with the neighbours and went to see their lambs, which they were absolutely delighted about.
