House was lovely and well located. The spa was particularly our favourite, making for a great winter getaway. Jo the owner was lovely to deal with too. Thankyou
Had a great weekend at this property. Plenty of room for us on a mum’s getaway, great zones, some enjoying a spa, some at the beautiful long dining table working on a jigsaw some chilling on the couch. A great venue for a lovely relaxing weekend.

That is so good to hear that despite the poor weather, you still managed to have a great weekend at our property.
We loved our stay at this property over Christmas - it was well laid-out, it was even larger than it seemed in photos, so much room in the outdoor area and just beautiful all round.
We had a great time over our Easter break with family staying at this property. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but on saying that the hot tub got a workout. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy and the area was beautiful for some nice hilly walks. Recommended for a relaxing stay!
We had a wonderful time! This home had everything we needed, it was modern, clean and the kids has a ball in the backyard jumping on the trampoline and playing on the swing set. We highly recommend it!
