Private and cosy

We loved our stay here. The property was very very clean and warm and provided great privacy. The spa was a fun addition. It would have been nice to have extra towels for the spa and also some larger cooking pots.

This is a home away from home. Amazing use of space, and brilliant outdoor area thats well sheltered from the weather. I have slight ocd and whoever built and put this property together must also share the same eye for detail. My family loved staying here, very private and peaceful. Well appointed with quality whiteware etc.Very clean and tidy.100% recommend.Thankyou Ben.

Awesome place to stay

Loved this wee little gem. Great size for family with 3 teens - had everything we needed for a busy weekend with family events. Didn't get to try out the spa as we were too busy but would have great in Winter. Loved the well stocked kitchen esp the coffee machine and being able to use the washing machine/dryer. Place was super clean and had a great outside area
