We spent a lovely 2 weeks over Christmas here. The house was spotless clean, very comfortable and cosy. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch.The area is very quiet especially at night. The walk into town takes about 15-20 minutes depending on how quick you walk 😂. The walk back is uphill but all good exercise. Our little dog Kallie thoroughly enjoyed her stay especially the toy left in the Christmas hamper as a gift for her. The hamper was amazing and very welcome. The owners were great and very helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay here.
