We had a fantastic stay. The views are amazing! We loved the sheep and seeing red kites flying around the cabin we also heard a tawny owl at night. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few dinners. Picked up a takeaway from Kington Thai which was delicious. We enjoyed laying in the hot tub at night after a day out. We had an evening in the games room which was a great extra to have. You really could snuggle in for the week and not leave! But we wanted to see the area so we drove around and wow how beautiful it all was. We stopped off many places to walk the dog. We would love to visit again soon to see the area more and relax in the cabin with them views.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The day we arrived we had an issue with the oven door not closing. Contacted the owners and within 3 hours a brand new one was arrived and installed. Amazing service. Nothing was too much trouble. One thing I would make clear is there is a very steep incline and a few steps at the top to get to it. So just be aware you have a long way to go with all your things if we had known we would have packed a little lighter. But never the less we had a lovely family holiday and would stay again. Thank you

Lovely place to stay. The location was beautiful. The slope upto the cabin can be slippery when wet but hand rails either side. Inside was fresh, light and airy and the hot tub was clean and hot! Would stay again🥰
