Beautiful secluded location surrounded by wildlife and green fields. Shane is a wonderful host and really couldn’t do enough for us. The hot tub and all of the facilities were spot on.

Lovely house and garden. The hot tub is in a great setting and the owner couldn’t be more helpful. Great quality bedding and super large settee.

The cottage was just as we expected and asked for. Shane the host was first class, friendly, considerate and helpful and allowed us to take a 3rd dog free at short notice. That said the garden was lovely but not as secure as we would like for the dogs who had to be watched all the time in case they wondered into the road or woods. Cottage was lovely but lots and lots of cobwebs so if you are freaked out by spiders..... Hot tub was excellent and facilities in the cottage were great. It is superbly located and easy to get to, lovely and quiet too.
