Fantastic stay at Sheilas little Hideaway. Definitely lived up to its name. The views , listening to nothing but nature with my morning coffee and Shielas knowledge of the area were amazing. We would definitely recommend a stay here. The Bear Inn is worth a visit, one of Sheilas recommendations for food, and has its own brewery. Lovely home, lovely host and lovely holiday. Thank you
