Reviews

Lovely barn, beautifully renovated and with everything you need. The provision of cake and a few treats was most welcome. The barn and garden were great for our dogs although the grounds were not fully enclosed. Would happily recommend to friends.

Mr D,

Love this place! The history of the grounds and building was captivating, it's a little world of its own with the birds singing and the peace and quiet. The owner welcomed us when we arrived and came before we left, loved the idea of everything being eco where possible, would return again. Thank you to the owner.

Miss M,

Second time visiting here, group of 6 with 2 dogs. Great location and walks nearby. Log burner very nice and makes it cosy.

Mr C,

It’s the perfect holiday stay whether you are disabled or agile. You can walk up a mountain from the garden, play crocket on the lawn or just watch the birds. Perfect for dogs and people.

Mrs D,

The property was stunning! Location was amazing. The owners are the most local. The property is next to a waterfall/river so at night you can hear the water flowing which is peaceful and relaxing. So many local walks nearby and super spacious inside. The log fire was lovely to have going in the evening after a long walk in the rain. The owner is lovely came and greeted us and asked if there was anything we needed and if everything was OK. Was gutted to leave. Will be back again in the near future!! .

Miss H,

Mrs S,

Situated in an accessible yet secluded spot. Cottage cosy and home from home. Beautiful scenery and walks from the door. Excellent for dogs. Areas to visit easily by car or train as well as just enjoy relaxing and taking in the peace and quiet.

Mrs G,

Mr Trevor M,

From beginning to end the experience was entirely pleasurable. The owner who lives nearby was extremely attentive and even left us a personally signed letter of welcome. House instructions were very clear. The house has been renovated to a strandard way aboive a usual holiday let. We would want to return if possible.

Mr Charles P,
