Relaxing getaway
Beautiful property with a great set up for multiple families to stay. Owners were very responsive to requests during stay. Could do with some tea towels and dish washing liquid. Not grassy like the pictures and while pet friendly the property is open to the road.

Digi detox
So great to go somewhere off the digital footprint. No screens (except most excellent range of DVDs) and kids and adults enjoyed the amazing surrounds and digital de-tox.

Quiet and peaceful
The house was well equipped and cozy, with plenty of space for our group including two dogs. The only negative of our stay were the three other dogs that live down the road from the property which we did not know about when booking our stay. These dogs were roaming free multiple times and ended up wandering inside our house. While they were initially friendly, they were quite territorial and one of them aggressively pinned my 9 month old puppy to the ground. One of the other dogs also bit two of the people in our party. Despite some of our party taking the dogs back and notifying the owner, they still ended up escaping a few times. It was really disappointing as we felt like we couldn’t allow our own dogs to wander around the property safely.
