Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests finding the property clean and well-prepared, while others reported it as dirty and uncared for, with mouldy bathrooms and a lack of functional showers upon arrival.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, abundant wildlife, and peacefulness, making it an excellent spot for outdoor activities and relaxation.
The property is generally considered comfortable, with spacious rooms and good heating. However, some guests mentioned creaky floorboards and dated bathrooms, slightly affecting the comfort level.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen, but some guests experienced issues with showers, Wi-Fi, and a leaky porch. The presence of two dishwashers and ample cookware is a plus, but maintenance issues have been noted.
There is insufficient information regarding any thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the hosts, so a score cannot be given in this category.

Perhaps we were one of the first groups in the property this year, hence it was bitterly cold throughout and took some considerable time to heat up. We had no hot showers on one day but a plumber was arranged to call and fixed it for the second and third days of our stay.

We have stayed here many times over the years and really enjoyed the facilities, the peace and the outstanding beauty of the area. This year we had a problem with the plumbing which meant that we had either scolding hot water or freezing cold water from the Tuesday to the Saturday. A plumber was called but was not able to resolve the problem which was disappointing.

We had to pick up some of the procedures from the locals.
