We chose Garth Ucha for a family gathering and had a great time. The property is off the beaten track with lovely countryside views all around. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend. The kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped – two dish washers, two kettles, two toasters, etc. We stayed during a summer heatwave but the building remained cool and airy. The hot tub on the patio is fantastic. We’d happily return.

Fabulous weekend away with a group of 13. The weather was not in our favour however we made the most of the hot tub and indoor space.We dined in every day and found the provision of pots, pans and utensils was brilliant. There is loads of space and plenty of nooks and crannies for hide and seek (I think we found all the children).We all had a truly memorable break.
