Christmas Getaway

Great wee Bach, warm, tidy, full of character. Good size property for kids to ride their bikes. Shame the nor’wester turned the river to chocolate milk. Awesome property, will stay again. 👍

Lovely Family Fishing Bach, Beautifully Kept

Very comfortable family bach with a great sense of the fishing history in a peaceful setting. Had everything you need and was a wonderful nostalgia trip for my old time fisherman dad (93 years old). We had a lovely time. Thanks for letting us bring the dogs. Great walks everywhere.

Everything you could need for a quiet stay away! The fire was so cosy and the bed was comfortable!

Very homely feel to this batch which has everything you need to relax. It was so quiet which was perfect. Was lovely with the fire going. Everything was cruisy and there at hands reach. The owner was very communicative with instructions. My only confusion was whether I was meant to turn the main power off when I left but didn't want the freezer to defrost!! Hopefully it was all okay. Stayed one night and having a late checkout was perfect to help get organised in the morning! Thank you, would love to come back.

A great property to enjoy the peace and quiet, long walks and fresh air. This wee place has everything you need including a superior DVD selection for a night on the couch in front of the fire :)
