Great property and location
A little confusion at the start about potential double booking but was resolved with no issues, great views and property, gutted we didn't get to try out the hot tub due to all the rain but thank you to the host

Superb stay, the house, hot tub, location cows and dogs all added to an incredible weekend stay. Aided in no small part by the sun. Great communication from the host. A brilliant place to stay. Will be booking again.

Nice location
Good location and nice neighbourhood but cottage inside needs lots of renovation! Lights outside hardly work so when you’re in the hot tub you’re in the dark( just the lights from the hot tub). WiFi very bad. Lady next door and her husband was very helpful and friendly however they are not o need of the property. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Magical 21 birthday
The property is clean and well equipped. The country side is stunning and the hotub is right under the stars on a clear night. All the appliances worked well. Only complaint is that we ran out of toilet paper!

Time to chill
Beautiful scenery and a lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage.
Couple of nights of relaxation in this quiet location and the hot tub is an added bonus. Thank you.
