The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, seclusion, and stunning views, although one review mentioned a daunting hill and another noted the closure of a nearby pub.
The property is generally considered comfortable, with ample space and cosy settings. However, a few reviews mentioned firm and squeaky beds, and one noted a small bed in the downstairs bedroom.

The house was fabulous, with so much space and everything you could possibly want in a holiday rental. There was plenty of everything and more to cater for a large family get together, warm and cosy, considering the time of year and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The views from the front of the house were breath taking, the setting so peaceful and secluded and what a view whilst relaxing in a hot tub! Would love to return one day.

We went as 2 families but the house is really set up for big groups of people and had more of a hostel feel to it. It was very cold when we arrived - would have been nice if the heating had been put on in advance of us arriving. Took a while to get warm and only the first basket of logs are included. A games room is advertised but this was unusable - the table didn't have the correct balls, the cues were damaged and it was an outhouse which was freezing. Even though I said I had limited mobility the information for getting in the side door was limited - one door couldn't even be opened even though it seems it's a fire door. Communication on the phone was a little curt to be honest and not understanding of my mobility requirements, Downstairs bedroom - the bed was very small even though the room was big. The smallest bathroom possible next to it. A rather strange welcome hamper with individual crisps and supermarket own biscuits. It was all a bit short of the mark. Hot tub was great and lovely views.
