We had a fantastic family weekend away. The house is amazing, everything you need and more! All bedrooms are ensuite which is rare. The master suite is something special! The views are amazing, and the local pub does good food and beer. Couldn't have asked for more for our weekend! Thank you!

Freestone House was perfect for our needs and we would gladly book it again. The location was ideal, and the hosts were very responsive to any questions concerning the property. The house is well-appointed and very comfortable. There were some strange decorations, quite a particular taste, understandable if it is a family home, however, not for a rental.
