Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the property as spotless and extremely clean, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming stay. The high standard of cleanliness is frequently mentioned, although there was a single mention of the hot tub being slimy by day five, which slightly impacts the score.
The location is celebrated for its excellent walking routes, proximity to local attractions, and beautiful countryside views. However, several guests experienced difficulty finding the property, suggesting that improved signage and directions could enhance the experience.
The property is repeatedly described as comfortable, with special mentions of cosy beds and a homely atmosphere. The presence of a log burner adds to the comfort level, making for cosy evenings. The property's spaciousness also contributes to the overall comfort for guests.
Facilities are generally regarded as high-quality and well-maintained, with thoughtful extras like hair dryers and towels for the hot tub. The well-equipped kitchen is a highlight. Some minor issues with Wi-Fi connectivity and a request for a floor plan in advance slightly lower the score.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome hampers and birthday cards, which add a personal touch to their stay. It is politely noted that while these gifts are highly appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Great views from the house and plenty of walks. Hot tub an added bonus. Would have been helpful to have had more dishwasher tablets and a dishcloth.

The walk we did was breath taking. We stopped at The Hanging Gate pub, which is worth a visit regardless for the views. We have had the best weekend and will definitely be back. The hot tub is a welcome bonus at the end of a tiring day. It made our weekend. Highly recommended!

The house is beautifully furnished; the beds are comfortable; the kitchen well kitted out for catering for a larger group; the hot tub was well maintained and fun. A beautiful part of the world, we would definitely recommend this property.
