The outdoor fire pit and garden are popular features, and the property's rural charm adds to the relaxing experience. The welcoming touches, such as a hamper, are appreciated by guests.

Lots of space for a large group of adults and a toddler. Beautiful location. The house was very well equipped, with plenty of plates, etc for a large group. Mixed views regarding the comfort of the beds. Some of our party said the beds were really comfortable whilst others said their beds could do with a new mattress. The house is comfortable and feels lived in. As previous reviews have said, the road up to the property is bumpy. However, that is expected when you're going to a house off the beaten track. We had several cars and motorcycles who all navigated the road with no problems. The owner quickly responded when we had a problem with one of the showers. We would definitely return to the property if we needed a large house again. Thank you.

Quiet, cozy, so many areas to write and chat and read. A fantastically equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms for people to be comfortable. Some people said their beds were comfortable. Others could use new mattresses. But other than that, plenty of towels, scenery for days, areas to sit outside, and the host was easy to reach when needed. Would 10/10 stay again. We were all incredibly sad to leave and will have fond memories forever.

The bedrooms were spacious - some also had beautiful views - and there were plenty of clean, well-functioning bathrooms. The kitchen was also well equipped. We made use of the many seating areas, including the outside terrace with beautiful sunset views. The area surrounding the Lodge provided a few options for walks, including many kinds of wildlife to keep us interested, and the kids enjoyed Hide and Seek in the expansive garden. Would highly recommend!
