We stayed for five days over the New Year and there was a group of us.
We stayed for five days over the New Year and there was a group of us. House is well equipped and there’s plenty of room. A bit of a steady walk into town downhill so you feel it coming back. Tricky for oldies. Hot tub great and our pooch loved the garden. We would definitely rebook.
The best service accommodation I have stayed thus far!!!
During our recent stay, my family and I were delighted to experience the charm of a serviced accommodation that felt like a tranquil oasis. The stunning house, adorned with sleek modern design and exquisite furnishings, went above and beyond to ensure our utmost comfort. Every meticulous detail, from the captivating decor to the meticulously stocked kitchen, contributed to an overwhelming sense of warmth and relaxation.
The location is perfect, offering both tranquillity and convenience. Jackie, the host, was lovely and exceptionally attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for an ideal stay. We can't recommend this place enough! It's truly a gem.
