  • Jamie

    Pub a 2 minute drive away which served lovely food and dog friendly. Would highly recommend this property .

  • Debbie

    With my work I look after disabled people and this holiday was for them. It gave them loads of space, my only niggle was that the downstairs ensuite shower was the smallest,which made it hard for them to shower. The host have thought of everything, with a welcoming scones jam and cream. I would love to book again

  • Lorna

    Stunning property with amazing views so much space for a large family. We were a mix of young, middle aged adults and pensioners and my dog, it was great for all. The games room was a huge bonus. My only comment we could be that a roadside mirror would be beneficial as it is not easy to see pulling out of the drive. We loved our stay and would definitely return and highly recommend
