  • David Fairley

    What a lovely property in a beautiful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  • Julia

    We spent 4 nights here over Christmas, the house was clean on arrival and David stopped by to check everything was ok. We had a lovely time here 10 adults and 2 children, it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The games room was an added bonus allowing my nephew space to sent up his decks (he is 13 and they were a started set), he loved it. Will definitely consider returning again.
