This is our absolute favourite place to go with a group of friends and a few dogs.
This is our absolute favourite place to go with a group of friends and a few dogs. It has everything for the people and animals and the layout is perfect. I think that this is the 6th time we have been there - so that just says it all
The house was very spacious and comfortable. It was out in the sticks so very quiet and great for looking at the stars. Good central point though for adventures out. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Front yard concrete and secure for med size dogs although big field to explore but might need good shoes as uneven.

Beth and Nick were lovely and provided us with a wonderful and cosy place.
Beth and Nick were lovely and provided us with a wonderful and cosy place. Very spacious, lovely wood burner, very comfy beds, warm showers and a box of biscuits as a welcome snack. The thing that topped it all was the bonus of a ping pong table which the boys and dad made a lot of use of. Thank you for a fantastic holiday. We will book again anytime if we are in the area again.

We had a lovely time. We hadn't realised that our dogs would not be allowed upstairs, but it did mean the bedrooms and bathrooms were luxury spotless!

Nice place to stay.
Nice place to stay. Quiet apart from the neighbours dogs. It suffered from quite a few flies that we couldn't get rid of. Some TV's didn't work very well. Friendly owners.

A remote peaceful retreat.
A remote peaceful retreat. Only phones with wifi can access calls. Plenty of birds and animals.
Roads around not for the faint hearted. Fine views from bedroom windows.
