Patrick
There is so much space for a family group of varying ages. The house is so warm and inviting, the underfloor heating was amazing during the recent cold snap. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. Four bathrooms are fantastic with a family group, showers have excellent water pressure. The surrounding countryside is amazing for exploring. Bushmills setting is in itself , tranquil. The morning birdsong is delightful. There are excellent eating out options within 10-15 minutes drive of the house. We had a fantastic week and cannot wait to come back.

Having six adults and two children in our party there was ample room for us all . The cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

Beautiful accommodation with fantastic views. We loved walking the local lanes, which were quiet and scenic. Lots to do in the local area and we had an enjoyable meal at nearby Gwatkin Red Cow Tavern. Lindsey, the owner, was most accommodating and flexible on our arrival arrangements, as the weather that day was fierce. Also nice to visit Hay on Wye and Hereford - both within half an hour or so by car. A lovely property for a cosy Winter break, and it would be fabulous in Summer too!
