    We are usually in and out of our holiday rentals but on this occasion my son was very ill the day of checkout. The team where easy to communicate with and incredibly understanding and empathetic. The property speaks for itself in the beautiful photos but to have empathetic management was the icing on the cake. We are booked to spend our Christmas here this year and can't wait. Its my dream property to be honest. Not to big, not too small, perfect location too. If they ever decided to sell I'd bite their arm off to take on this delightful building.

    A comfortable 5 night stay. Fantastic views, loved watching the sheep. Very relaxing, amazed by how quiet it was.
