Everything was perfect for our Christmas Holiday. Hot tub was amazing and huge outdoor area to enjoy. We sat outside with the wood burner on watching the amazing stars under the dark skies. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a holiday in the area. Everything you need is close by also with the main street through Stanhope only a stones throw away. Finally - Thanks to the lovely owner Scott and his wife for being so helpful with our queries.

Its very quiet within a beautiful village. Apartment was spacious and well decorated. Once the heating was on it was lovely and cosy too and we all loved the hot tub. The garden is big so plenty of space for the little ones and a swing set.
