Beautifully located holiday cabin, cosy and warm. Lovely, peaceful walking routes for a highly reactive dog. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle. No mobile phone signal or internet -perfect, just what we needed for an escape from daily routine.

Amazing in the middle of nowhere just what we wanted. Beautiful walks for the dogs and the owner lyn was amazing. Take boots it gets muddy, cottage does need a good deep clean but still clean enough to relax in. Local shops is a garage only and further afield for a supper market so would take what you need

An absolutely stunning lodge surrounded by beauty, nature & wildlife. The local village is quaint with shop, pubs & bakery. Lyn is a wonderful host, kind and ensures you have everything you need. We were so grateful of the enclosed garden for our dog and woodland walks from the lodge. A peaceful, relaxing break - could not fault it at all.
