We had a wonderful family stay here for 5 days and absolutely loved it. Senerary 10/10 location 10/10 and cleaning 10/10. Can't fault it! Hot tub made it extra special. See you again next year!

Such a beautiful place to stay a few days, with lovely views. We had heavy rain during our stay and it was the perfect place to stay holed up with a cup of tea, very warm and comfortable inside with great facilities. The hot tub is lovely and private for a nice dip looking over the hillsides. Would definitely recommend.
