A fabulous large family home in a stunning location. The accommodation was welcoming and extremely comfortable - a real home from home! Games room a bonus!We also enjoyed gorgeous views from every window and were entertained by the wildlife in the extensive beautiful garden. The information pack was very helpful giving details of places of interest, where to shop and dine out. We appreciated the friendly and helpful contact from Maria and Jim.Highly recommend.

We stayed at Hydee house for a long weekend to get the family together to celebrate our mums 60th and the house was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Maria and Jim were there to greet us when we arrived and could not have been any nicer. They showed us round and also told us about the surroundings should we wish to head out anywhere. The welcome pack was also a lovely touch with fresh made scones, butter, jam, milk, eggs and wine.The games room was great with a tv, pool table, darts, books, jigsaws, games and more.Thank you so much to Maria and Jim for helping make our celebration just perfect. The house was great and also made us feel that nothing was a bother should we need anything further.
