We had a fantastic and peaceful stay. The property is lovely and has everything you will need. Natalie and Ric are very helpful and friendly and there if you need them.Lovely field next to the property for our dog to ran around.Pub is walking distance with some nice pub grab served in the evenings.The road to get to the property needs a repair, but as long as you take it easy it is fine.Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking to escape the hussle and bustle of the modern world, then this is a perfect place for you. Its in the middle of nowhere down a single track lane, so not ideal if you want to walk anywhere local, but a great base to drive to local nature attractions like the lakes and forests, etc.
