My friends and I stayed here from 30th June - 3rd July for my birthday and we had the absolute best time! The photos are stunning but don’t do the property justice, it was absolutely lush! The property was pristine, well equipped and we cannot get over how comfy the beds/sofas were. The decking and hot tub set up outside was absolutely gorgeous, it definitely exceeded our expectations!
The view is fantastic, it’s so remote and private, it was just all around perfect! We really didn’t want to leave, and we’ll definitely be visiting again in the future. :)

Fantastic holiday house!
We stayed here with our family and grandchildren for 3 nights. It was absolutely fantastic. The house is immaculate and very homely. A home from home. The well equipped kitchen and great kitchen/dining area was perfect for everyone to sit and eat. Lovely bedrooms and very comfortable beds. The log burner in the living room, hot tub and safe enclosed garden for the dogs and kids were all bonuses.
