Little piece of heaven tucked away. Spent 4 days here and wow what a beautiful place. Just what was needed. I have never felt so relaxed. The house itself is faultless. Everything you need and the surroundings are on another level. So peaceful apart from the animal noises which were lovely to listen too. The weather was a bit hit and miss but didn’t matter. The hot tub was an added bonus. I didn’t want to get out. Will definitely be back next year when we have our new fur baby. Ideal for lots of dog walks. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We’ve just spent a lovely week in Oak view, it was the peace and tranquility we wanted. Relaxing, comfortable and the hot tub was an added bonus. Beautiful views from the floor to ceiling windows. Weather was perfect for us and our small/medium dog had a safe secure garden area.
