    The extra little touches were lovely and made the arrival even better. Location- perfect, house- unbelievably beautiful Highly recommend and have to friends already but wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we head that way again, which we will as this property is a dream place with family or friends Nice little village shop and pub about 1/2 mile down road (walk back was interesting!) but great week away Thankyou

  • Anthea

    Fabulous views. Very comfortable. Everything there that we needed. Had a great time and definitely plan to return.

  • Michael

    The lovely weather we had made the scenic views from the large windows all the more special. The games room was great, not sure why you don’t have photos of it on the website as it is a great selling point for all ages.
