Very spacious cottage, well maintained covered hot tub, very quiet location. Exterior doors a bit tricky to lock possibly due to heatwave. Helpful owner.

Lovely lodge with hot tub. Enjoyed my stay. Was a very private and secluded location, ideal for families who like privacy. Loved waking up to the sound of birds, sheep and nature. Felt very safe as owner is close by. Communication was great. Instructions to get to the lodge were spot on. Car is a must. Lodge was beautiful inside and outside. All amenities are included. I fully recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay and for looking after us x
