This is a lovely, off the beaten track and with wonderful views property. Beautiful inside, clean and well equipped. The owners who live next door are so welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be staying there again and highly recommended a visit.

Very spacious property, in excellent condition. Very friendly owners and the welcome pack even included treats for the dog.Single track approach has a number of potholes, but some were filled in towards the end of our stay.No amenities within walking distance.There is a town 12 minutes drive away with everything you would need.

We had a lovely time staying at this beautiful barn. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Everything needed was available, all was very comfortable. The views are breathtaking from all windows and the sheep and cows are very welcoming! We would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. The road up does need attention but this is out of the owners hands. It would not deter us from booking again.
