    We came in December when the weather was awful, but the house made up for it. The real log fires were amazing, the hot tub was fab and the Christmas decorations were beautiful. We arranged for Sami to come and give us all massages at the house (sorted through the owners in advance) and that was a real treat. The owners were fantastic, met us on arrival, equipped the house with provisions to get us going, left homemade gin and fresh eggs, milk, mince pies and logs for the fire etc. They were easy to contact if any queries and we would not hesitate to recommend a stay here. Truly a fantastic place for a large group to enjoy some quality time together.

    The perfect home away from home! Will definitely be returning

  • Cathy

    A great venue for a family gathering. The house is beautifully furnished & spotlessly clean. The hosts Lisa & Adi were super helpful and accommodating on our arrival. All in all could not have wished for a better location.
