Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is repeatedly described as very clean, with only a minor comment about a small fridge and main fridge needing attention. The overall high standard of cleanliness is evident in the reviews.

The location is praised for its stunning views and peacefulness, with convenient access to local attractions and amenities. However, one review mentioned it is not practical to walk to the village, slightly impacting the score.

Comfort is generally rated highly, with the property being spacious and well-equipped. However, there are some comments about the beds not being comfortable, which affects the score.

Facilities are well-regarded, with special mentions of the hot tub, playhouse, and games room. The lack of a tumble dryer for longer stays and a pizza cutter are minor criticisms.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful extras provided by the hosts, including decorations and goodies. While gifts are mentioned, it is noted that such personal touches, while delightful, are not guaranteed.

    Very clean with everything you need.We had a perfect venue for a birthday bash with all the family. Great hot tub ang games room. Thanks for a great stay.Rick and the Welsh clan

  • Mark

    A beautiful remote location with amazing views, but also within easy reach of places to go and see. The house has everything you could need and is a real home from home with the added bonus of the hot tub for some extra relaxation. We were a party of 6, but even maxed to capacity there would still be plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have some space. Highly recommend.

  • Penny

    There were 8 of us staying (3 generations) and the house was perfect for us. It's extremely spacious and with 2 dining rooms, 2 lounges and the pool room, it meant we could have different things going on without disturbing others. The pool table was popular, as was the hot tub. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed several home cooked family meals. All in all, a great house. One tiny quibble - we couldn't get the radiator in the twin room to work.
