Superbly located cottage, very large and well equipped.Quite isolated so very quiet and private.The river runs just outside the back of the house with a series of small falls and is very fast moving .As there is no fence and quite a steep drop to the waters edge would not recommend this place for families with young children as would be dangerous if left to play alone.The road up to the property when wet is quite slippery and needs repair due to large potholes so watch your suspension!But apart from that the place is superb for a large or extended family break with all you'll ever need for a relaxing and together time.

Cruives Lodge was a really comfortable property for a weekend away for our group of old friends. It was a beautiful setting and had every home comfort you would need. Large bedrooms and very comfortable beds all added to our relaxing break.
