Mr Melia
The cottage was everything the website and other reviews stated. It was fantastic for a 50th birthday with friends and family. It is ideal for large groups using all three properties but would be a bit awkward using shared facilities like the games room and enclosed courtyard if the three cottages were booked separately. The properties themselves were finished to a high standard, the beds were excellent, the bathrooms excellent and living areas very comfortable. The log burners were also great with plenty wood. The village itself is a short walk and has everything you could really need including a Chinease takeaway and pizza shop. One thing to note, there are two pubs but only The Blacksmiths arms is dog friendly indoors, The Golden Lion is not which was a shame as we had booked this for food on the Friday and had to change it to The Hotham Arms a short drive away. There is a easy walk just behind the cottage which is an old railway line. All in all the weekend was exactly what we hoped it would be and I would certainly recommend the cottages to other groups. The owners were friendly the two times I spoke with them in passing.

Really great barn conversion for a large family gathering. The three linked properties means there's plenty of space/privacy/quiet for those who need it, and the large communal spaces are ideal for spending time together.

We absolutely loved our stay for my husbands 40th. Plenty of room for 14 adults to eat, play games, relax and drink! We did get out to the local pub but really felt happy onsite. The place is so modern and well decorated. The host was super quick to help with a heating issue that was resolved straight away. Thank you
