My Fiance and i stayed here for a much needed break away. We come from Glasgow so they fact we got to sit in the hot tub and see the stars was a win on our book. I stayed here in July 2021 and it was great then and I just knew I had to return, this time with a car.

Good location, peaceful surroundings. Hot tub great, loved the chickens running about. Expensive compared to similar holiday cottages we’ve used . Some areas could have been cleaner eg kitchen cupboards, wardrobes.
