Terry
The property is absolutely fine, would be great in the summer, the problem is the location, no local pub to go to and the nearest town is a drive away, personally we like to leave the car from the minute we arrive, that is our personal preference and should not detract from a lovely site. one more point would be if there was a cooker there, there iRead mores only a hob and a microwave.

We had a lovely break. Stayed 3nights. The owners were great friendly and made you feel welcome. Lovely little cafe on site. Hot tub and huts were amazing, we would highly recommend.
Eleanor
A lovely stay and warm welcome from Mike. Pictures dont do the place justice, with a really nice stargazing type terrace above the hot tub. Great facilities and lots of walks nearby, made for a relaxing stay.
Tony
An excellent place to stay, you are given total seclusion whilst known your host's are on hand at all times should you need any assistance. They could not have been more inviting or friendly. Everything from the quality of workmanship of the buildings & facilities to the cleanliness is absolutely first rate. I defy anyone not to feel relaxed in the se surroundings, with fantastic views everywhere. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.
Sarah
What a wonderful find. Better than the pictures on site. Hot tub is actually undercover and more private than photos suggest. Lovely relaxing break, just what we needed. Owners are wonderful! We will return!
Christine
