    8 ladies in our mid-30s. Felt a bit odd to have the hot tub at the front of the house at first but it was very private. We loved feeding the alpacas. We struggled to cook everything in the aga but there is another oven so worked out great! A second proper shower would have been helpful but we managed. Overall we had a lovely stay.

    Stephanie was able to provide us with the information we needed when we arrived. The trip was a mum break and we had an absolutely amazing time. We were able to relax and breathe in the beautiful fresh air around us. The views were lovely. The home was stunning. The weather was also on our side for the weekend. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. We were only able to use 1 shower as the other one wasn't working, there was a fault. There are a few little fixes that need to be made. But otherwise we had a lovely time.

    We will definitely look to come back again! The only tiny negative is the shower in the main bathroom not having a holder - so it is difficult to use without making a mess.
