It was comfortable, adequate and in a good location, but disappointing for us as a holiday experience.

Nice property in an excellent location, convenient for lots of local walks from the door. There was obviously some positive renovation work going on before we stayed and some problems with the heating were immediately addressed by Rory. Still a way to go before it achieves its full potential as a top property but definitely moving in the right direction. Didn't use the hot tub so can't comment as it's not our thing.

A Lovely Property in a beautiful location was our first impression on the website and in person. All in all, it is a very clean property with clean linen and bathrooms. However the practicalities of the property leaves a bit to be desired once you scratch the surface. To offer a property for 6 people is a little bit over ambitious as the ensuites are very tiny and hard to navigate around. The kitchen isn't equipped enough to accommodate 6 people, for instance 3 coffee cups only. Kitchen is in need of some attention as doors and drawers don't fit properly and lack of blinds at the kitchen windows means the cottage at the side can easily overlook this property.
