Very comfortable accommodation, swimming pool was a bonus! A secluded spot, nature on the doorstep, easy travelling to go sightseeing around the area. Highly recommended.

Pool is unheated but hubby managed to go in a couple of times. Lots of good seating available around the pool too. One thing I think would improve the accommodation would be somewhere to put toiletries in the lovely shower. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely holiday. The bungalow is very comfortable, well equipped and very clean. A generous welcome pack was provided, and the owners, David and Beverley, are very friendly and helpful. A very efficient wood burner can be used for chilly evenings. A lovely quiet location but only minutes away from an A-road. David's pickled walnuts are delicious.
