Reviews

Fantastic accommodation, immaculate, well-designed throughout from the communal lounge/kitchen with great views and a log burner through to the accessible wet-room, spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. Had a great walk in the local wood with the dog and saw some deer and a red squirrel and the alpacas and pygmy goats were lovely to see. Maggie was very accommodating and welcoming. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Maggie was a welcoming host and the property has great facilities in a lovely location. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location, stunning views and the accommodation was clean and cosy. 100% recommend and a fantastic stay.

This was a great place for a whole family to get away and get together in a very nice place tucked away on a farm. Great host, great location, away from the city but not too far from civilisation that you cannot get the things you need. Maggie is a great host, very helpful and responsive.
