Ensuite in every room was very good. We were given a good welcome hamper and plenty of helpful items e.g. toilet rolls dish washer tablets. We struggled with the WiFi.
The scenes and surrounding areas were breath taking. There was plenty of thing to do and places to go. We had a enjoyable stay.

The pictures don't do it justice, the house is super spacious and we never felt that we were on top of each other. Games room was perfect for the kids young and old. Well stocked kitchen and throughout. Kitchen table sat 10 of us easily and a high chair. Definitely be back.

"Family from Scotland and Southeast England met for 3 nights after Christmas after many months away from each other."
The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas with lots of personal touches and a lovely Christmas tree. The accommodation was perfect for the 11 of us, plenty of space with everything we needed. Snow on the ground for the first day which was exciting but it cleared for the rest of the visit. Only disappointment was in not being able to appreciate views of the hills because of the weather but good enough reason to come back in summer.
Couldn't recommend this property more - it was perfect.

"This was a surprise trip for my partners 40th birthday & wow what a trip it was."
We obviously weren’t expecting Storm Arwen to make an appearance & unfortunately this brought our stay to end a day early but it didn’t stop us having the most amazing time. All 12 of us were so impressed with how beautiful the house was, every bedroom & en-suite were so lovely & clean. The owners of the property couldn’t have been more accommodating, they came to check we were all ok after the storm & then came & helped us get each car out, as they were stuck in the snow. Such lovely & friendly people. We can’t wait to stay again.

"Beautiful cottage with everything you could want."
We were 11 in total and the facilities were more than adequate for all of us. Having an en suite to every bedroom was really helpful and much appreciated.The children loved the games room and the toys were an added bonus. We all loved the homely atmosphere in the cottage,particularly the sitting room with the log burner and plenty of comfortable seating for us all.
The directions to the cottage could have been better. We nearly ended up in a quarry!! They should have said the cottage was at the end of a track to the left of the road immediately after the first cattle grid.
Loved every minute of our stay in a farmhouse surrounded by amazing scenery. The welcome pack was very generous and the chocolate cake was delicious. If you want a beautiful house with lots of space in a beautiful setting this is the place for you.

We were welcomed with a fabulous food bundle, which was a lovely unexpected bonus. At every turn, we saw something else that we liked & began the saying 'this is a house that just keeps on giving'
There was plenty of safe space for the children, both inside & out & also plenty of games & toys for them to play with which was also unexpected.
We all kept repeating just how beautiful the house was. It really was spotlessly clean, comfortable & well equipped. There is nothing bad that can be said & the owner, Louise, was friendly & informative. She couldn't do enough to help to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you Louise.
