This is a lovely place to stay and I would have no hesitation in booking again, we actually been thinking of some excuses to do so. Its so peaceful and the views are amazing. The accommodation is very comfy and very clean, also ideal for anyone with mobility issues too. The owners are also very welcoming and provided good directions, which I would recommend following as it made the arrival process so much easier.

Lesley
The perfect holiday home for our family, spending a week celebrating my Mumâ??s 90th birthday. The view is terrific from the south facing patio - and we spent hours watching the wildlife, walkers, horse riders, farmer and big sky! The kitchen is well equipped, which was fabulous as we could cook the things we all love, and enjoy eating together. The easy walks were perfect for our small dog, and the peace and quiet was just lovely. One of the bedrooms has a double aspect overlooking the countryside - many an â??early morning cuppaâ?? spent enjoying that from the comfort of my bed!! So many attractions and places of interest nearby - and the scenery around there is fabulous.. there are many places where you can see for miles. Would we go again - ABSOLUTELY we would! Would I recommend to a friend .. no - because itâ??s a â??best kept secretâ??!!! Joking apart - yes I would HIGHLY recommend, and I really hope Iâ??ll visit again.
