Modern kitchen with everything you could need for your stay. Comfortable furnishing and bed and considering the bathroom is on the top floor the pressure for the shower was amazing. Gordon is a super host who kept in contact and kept the fire for the hot tub alight when we were running late. Would definitely recommend and thank you Gordon your a star.

Such a lovely helpful person, thank you so much! The property has everything you could need and want. Log fire in the living room was fabulous. Hot tub was amazing, we used every night with the exception of one rainy evening. The local area is lovely. So pretty and full of nature! The sunsets are so pretty. We visited quite a few different places which were all with in about an hour of Rivendell. Spoiled for choice. We look forward to coming back to visit!
