We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house and highly recommend. Under floor heating kept properly warm and the beds comfortable with luxurious quilt and pillows. Had great time in hot tub relaxing and looking at the views and watching the birds. Phil the maintenance man also very helpful and friendly. Thanks for a very pleasant holiday.

A lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful setting. Everything needed to live comfortably is provided. We had 2 1/2 weeks of pure bliss making use of the hot tub on an evening. Cliff and his team are very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
