Fantastic, country cottage, beautiful features such as its spiral stone staircase made the stay very special. The owners are friendly and attentive and made this a perfect stay.

The location is wonderfully quiet & peaceful with glorious views on every side. There are plenty of walks from the door up to the lake & the hills. The house is spacious, warm & comfortable with the large, well equipped kitchen especially appreciated by this family of enthusiastic cooks. The beds are very comfortable & there is constant hot water. Our hosts were lovely people, really friendly & helpful but not at all intrusive. Darn Isaf is a perfect place to enjoy a holiday in beautiful countryside; a red kite patrols the fields nearby, stonechats sit on the fence posts in the lane and there were loads of blackberries for crumble.
