Highly recommend the Mac Shack, very cosy lots of little extras that were perfect for our week away. Lovely small garden, so nice to see the horses in training from the lounge window, very relaxing in a beautiful area

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Mack Shack! The location is beautiful — peaceful countryside views and such a lovely treat waking up to see the horses each morning. The place itself was spotless, super clean, and equipped with all the modern amenities you could possibly need. Becky and Chris were wonderful hosts — so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!
