Louise
We stayed there as a party of 5 adults and it was perfect (apart from the lack of WiFi, but that is probably to do with the gloriously remote location). The kitchen is very well equipped, and the lounge very comfortable. We were there for New Year, so the wood burning stove was a very welcome bonus. The location is stunning, with lovely views over the valley - there is also a table set up outside which in summer must be a gorgeous place to sit. A couple of small notes for people booking (and I recommend that you do) - the directions were a little vague (the property is before you get to the local cafe/store) and the Travellers Rest Pub (which was the closest) seems to have closed down for the public. Having said that, the New Inn in Flash is only a 15 minute walk away and is charming, with a very good bar, food in the summer and a very warm welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and wouldnât hesitate to book again.

Great location for walking straight from the door. Nice and quiet even though it's just off a very busy road. Will definitely be booking again.

Was very clean and tidy. Close to the road but you couldnât hear it from inside. Had a fantastic time, will definitely be going back.
