Lovely peaceful and beautiful setting. No traffic noise or other people, which was brilliant. Just what we wanted for a relaxing week away. We had planned on visiting places around the area, but once we got there we just wanted to stay and enjoy what we had. No TV no radio for the whole week, (although it is available if wanted!) Just spent our time looking at the veiw and watching the wildlife. Pure bliss.

Another wonderful stay at this beautiful place. James and Katie have created something very special and are on hand if required. The stunning surroundings are nature at its best and the cabin is a home from home. We have made some more great memories and feel fully rested and recharged. We will most definitely be back ♥️

We loved every minute of our stay at stillwater. It had everything we needed. Having your own private lake in 6 acres really is perfect. Our dog Leo loved swimming in the lake multiple times a day. Katie and James were lovely hosts. We will definitely be back x
