We had a wonderful stay. It was a great base to explore from and cosy to come back to. Everything we needed and more. The views, garden were breath-taking. The cake, wine, little soaps were very welcome touches. The fire was laid ready, another thoughtful touch especially as we'd had a very long journey. We were so impressed we've already re-booked to return for our February break. Highly recommend.

Owners Lesley & David couldn't have been nicer & made us feel welcome. Plenty of scenic walks on the doorstep for the dogs & loads of interesting dog friendly places to visit nearby. We've had such an enjoyable holiday we've already re-booked for next year. Highly recommend
