Reviews
If you need to get away from the rat race this is the place to go. Large barn conversion with a very high spec, windows instead of walls allowed you to view nature 24/7. Each room was huge and uncluttered. it was so peaceful. Birds in the trees going about their business for you to view at your leisure. Hot tub was a bonus but the place itself made it just the best place for us. Could I comment in a negative way, yes if I wanted to critique it as a home, but it was amazing and we loved it. Thank you a great stay.
Just home from a lovely stay. Beautiful house with stunning views. Lots of lovely places to visit as suggested by the very welcoming and friendly hosts. Would definitely return and recommend
Just got back from a 4 night stay, it was an incredible property. The bed was super comfy with incredible views to wake up to. Hot tub was spotless and we were lucky enough to see a heron flying past! Owners were very friendly, but also non intrusive and greeted us with a bottle of prosecco! The whole stay felt very luxurious, perfect for a couples retreat! We can't wait to return again!
