Todburn is a beautiful, spacious house with lovely gardens. The house is set in a quiet location. Todburn is very well equipped and therefore had everything we needed. Also the owner is very quick to respond to any text which gives peace of mind.

Todburn East is a large cottage attached to an Equestrian Centre, so not near any shops or pubs, but it sits in some lovely countryside. It has 4x large comfortable bedrooms, although the beds were a little soft for us, some might prefer them. The kitchen is large and has a range and normal electric cooker, the range kept the kitchen lovely and warm, but we didn't risk trying to cook on it as we have no experience using a range. The addition of some dish cloths and kitchen roll would have been useful. Overall, its a great place for a family gathering, spacious and warm, we visited in April!

5 adults & 2 dogs enjoyed a fabulous week in this spacious super cosy house. Everything you could need (for both humans & pooches) was already provided- even start up fresh milk, wine & logs, dog bowls & bags!The Aga was amazing! On one very windy night the wind knocked the Aga pilot off - owner arrived promptly & tried to restart, but without success. Plumber was alerted & the problem sorted first thing next morning- very impressive!!Location is ideal & safe for dogs, but gloriously quiet & restful. All visitor attractions within 20/30 minutes drive through lovely countryside. We'll definitely return only can't find available dates for next year - not surprised 😦 (A hairdryer would be only added comfort as we left ours at home! But that's being picky!)
