A very comfortable and cosy home. Facilities are excellent with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Plenty of books to read and dvd’s to watch. The scenery is so beautiful and lots of places to visit. Highly recommended.

Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation. Very quiet, picturesquesetting on the edge of the village. Good-size garden and safe for children and pets. Plenty of walks in the area.Well-stocked village shop and several cafes and restaurants. Although theGordon Hotel in the square doesn't look very inviting, the take-away Indian meals were really good, the bahjis were particularly special, also such tender lamb in the Rogan Josh, but perhaps a bit too much oil in the sauce.If you are looking for a good base to see lots of interesting places, not too far away, then, Mountain View is for you !!
