The pool table and hot tub were fantastic and loved be all. The views from the property are beautiful.

Very spacious, lovely big kitchen, kids loved the games room, dogs loved the big garden, everyone loved the hot tub. Remote location, but terrific views, which is the reward for the rather hairy drive up a steep single track road. Overall, highly recommended.

..the secure garden for our dog was excellent. The rooms were all lovely and clean and the games room was a winner. Cannot fault this property at all and we will definitely be coming back here again
