Lin is a great host who welcomes you when you arrive, but leaves you to enjoy your break after that. We love how peaceful and quiet the location is, while only a short drive into town.

A home from home, so well equipped, comfy beds and a pleasure to have stayed there. Lin was very helpful and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. Would definitely come back.

Really cosy lounge with the log burner and comfy sofas. Winter, so no opportunity to sit in the garden but nice space if it were warmer months. Hot tub a treat and great way to relax. Lin the owner was really friendly and helpful and we could just knock on her door if we needed to know anything. Lovely to have the dog with us too, who also enjoyed himself. There was a named storm while we were there but that didnât stop us getting out and about and there are lots of lovely nice country walks within a short drive.
