Really lovely place in a secluded spot, my only concern was the small sofa isn't practical if there was 6 people. A must to do was the wine tasting very informative and a great experience, Nick and Christy were great hosts the wine and gin really good.

A very beautiful house, lots of attention to detail has been made when designing & furnishing the house. The location is stunning, the wood fired hot tub was a very welcome addition! Only a few things we thought were missing was a large frying pan, bigger pots & pans & the sofa near the tv was quite uncomfortable to sit on as very hard. I would stay here again though!
