Lovely retreat. Everything you need is there. Beautiful views in the day time and the stars are amazing at night as there’s no light pollution. Definitely recommended and the hosts communication is second to none. We loved it and will be back again.

The location and views are amazing, the things that put me off going again were the tiny useless bathroom sink, the oven is filthy and the fat smokes when on, I pulled out oven trays covered in dripping grease had to wash before use. Stains on the sofa and some parts not hoovered, the toilet still had urine stains and hair around the seat. Even found hair and a dead fly in the fridge. These are all simple things that would make this five star, the parking is a pain and difficult.So nice touches though, like the binoculars and downstairs tea facilities, comfortable bed. Just sort out the above and yes I would go back. IOW is spectacular.
