We had a lovely stay at the Hillside annex. Beautiful location and lots to see nearby. The house was clean and well laid out. Lovely comfy beds and fluffy towels. The log burner was very cosy. Also well worth visiting the hook and hatchet pub up the road for great food too. Only feedback is, we could have done with some more mugs in the kitchen for the 6 of us. Would definitely stay again.

Suited our needs as 1 person disabled and good for dog. The instructions to find and park could have been clearer as approach was on steep, narrow and dark public road which would not like to drive in dark or winter. Beds very comfortable and linen provided good quality..

Lovely location and a nice property. I think the luxury tag is an overstatement with a few details missing - including cutlery lol. Functional, quiet and good location. Definitely would stay again but feel the value/description of luxury is a little bit of a stretch.
