It's a real home away from home. THANK YOU! The photos are accurate, it actually is that beautiful. The house is immaculate and well catered. The number of walks from the door kept us busy all week, the dogs loved it! I'd love to visit again in the spring or summer...or both! If you're thinking about booking, let me tell you why you should: 1. Great for dogs - spacious fully enclosed garden and a myriad of fantastic walks from the doorstep. 2. Secluded - happily had a cuppa in my dressing gown outside in the morning. 3. Laundry facilities - are brilliant and everything dries in super quick time in the boiler room. I could have packed much lighter! 4. WiFi - decent WiFi for where it is, no bother using Netflix and BBC iPlayer on the TV. Though there is an extensive DVD collection too. 5. Remote but accessible - only a short drive to the A90 making it easy to get to shops and local attractions, but far enough in to the country to feel cut off from the world (in a good way!) 6. Hosts - info provided before the trip was exceptional. Directions to the property are spot on and easy to follow. Book today - you will not be disappointed!

Well presented, spacious and soo comfortable. The host was fantastic too with great communication. We had one day of heavy snow which was incredible. Fantastic place to take the dog too with lots of walks right out the front door.

The snow definitely helped to give it an extra scenic edge too. Ged the owner was very helpful, and we hope to be back in the future.
