Lovely place to stay. The location was beautiful. The slope upto the cabin can be slippery when wet but hand rails either side. Inside was fresh, light and airy and the hot tub was clean and hot! Would stay again🥰

Booked for birthday weekend with family. Access to the house is up a very steep path, gravel and loose hand rails followed by around 10 deep steps. I slipped down the path and twisted my knee on the first night there, which wasn't ideal. Steps or ability to drive up closer to the house would have been more appropriate. Anyone with minor mobility issues would have had no chance. House is looking a little tired compared to the promotional photos. Sofa was a little grubby hidden by blankets, outdoor furniture also look tired in need of treating. Its a lovely setting and very quiet. Would recommend the Swan Hotel, friendly, nice affordable food.

The most fantastic place I’ve ever stayed, the place, the surrounding areas, the most wonderful peaceful view ! And the hosts were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and were always there for us and our questions. I was gutted to have to leave. Cannot rate it all highly enough.
