Kids with additional needs and on spectrum. My son will not go anywhere and when we arrived he was so with drawn and I was worried made wrong choice however few hours in he was in games room playing darts the barn is massive he had his space to relax and the other kids absolutely loved it. The adults made the most out of the nights there the hot tub was amazing Huw was great he swung by checked the filters and if we needed anything there was a small blip with the oven and was sorted straight away. The cottage is lovely waking up to the sheep is lovely. The drive into the town was lovely and locals are lovely and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone honestly best holiday weâve had.

It is very spacious- large rooms and the en-suite bathrooms were a big bonus. Views from the patio are lovely and the dark sky meant we could stargaze in the evening. Would definitely recommend this property to any large group.
