Overall we enjoyed our stay here it was spotlessly clean and very spacious. There was plenty of space for all of us inside. The property has plenty of parking and lots of space for dogs to run around. It is situated in a beautiful area with some lovely countryside walks. Loved the hot tub this was used every evening. The was a couple of small issues first with the drainage at the front of the property where waste water was slow to drain. Slow drainage and poor water flow in one ensuite. There is No outside lights near the hot tub or the path walking up to it very dark at night and when walking back there's a big drop at the end of the fence where the slope is. You have to be careful when walking at night. A torch is definitely needed. The fence could be extended to where you turn to walk down the slope. These faults did not affect our overall stay and I would highly recommend the property and we would return.

I booked it for the family inc 2 toddlers & 3 dogs for my sisters 60th bday. Well it blew us away the moment we walked through the door. It has been furnished to such a high standard loved the mezzanine floor & the original saw mills . The amount of space in each room was amazing especially the living & dining rooms. The place was spotlessly clean & we spent each nite in the hot tub. My only criticism is there isnt an outside light by the hot tub. The outside gardens were great for the dogs & even had sheep as our neighbours. I would recommend this property over & over again & we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay

My daughter got locked in her bedroom. Another bedroom and bathroom door didnt close. The showers overflowed and the toilet backflowed into them. We had problems with the heating. The tempature dropped to -2c the house was freezing. The Thermostat upstairs read at 15.9c whilst downstairs was 13c. The hot tub was dirty and smelt. Know instructions was left for appliances. Garden furniture was soaked the whole vist. The gate wouldn't close as the wall is ready to collapse. Calls and texts was ignored. I have photos and video's to show the problems. Rubbish hadn't been collected from previous guests
