If you want a peaceful retreat, then Hydee House fits the bill. We had a lovely, peaceful family break, which was just what we needed. The games room was a definite hit with the younger ones of our group. The welcome pack was lovely as were the home made scones, thank you Maria & Jim for all your local knowledge. The weather was beautiful which enabled us to spend a lot of our evenings sitting in the garden and chilling. Thank you for a lovely break **
