I can honestly say this is the best all round property I have stayed in, and I am 60 years old a wonderful place and the host was at the end of a phone and very helpful the property had everything you could possibly need or want. The games room accommodated all age groups and my son and I enjoyed a game of snooker each evening before retiring if I could would definitely give 6 * for the extra details and welcoming manner we were received.

Lovely cottage. Beautiful surroundings. Very well equipped kitchen. Easy parking. Fresh eggs from chickens that you can help yourself to. Perfect for a family with children. Lots of out door equipment for them. Highly recommend this Byre.
