Luxury weekend away!

Wow! What an amazing place! Super spacious, super clean, super quiet. We were able to light a fire with the fire wood provided each night, it made the whole house warm and cosy. The spa was the highlight I’d say. We had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place!!! A bonus feature was being able to watch the cows with their calves just naturally playing, feeding and relaxing. Such a beautiful sight to see! Thank you for an epic stay!

Power Outage ruined the fun on the second night

The place was overall good. The view was excellent however on our second night we had TWO unexpected power outages. It has caused too much disruption to preparing our dinner. My child was also in the shower when it happened and it was quite frightening for her. The Manager was quick to respond and the owner even came in to sort it out. One of lost interest in joining us for dinner and got frustrated as it happened twice and had to wait for it to be sorted. It was not as smooth and enjoyable as we wished because of this.
