Heading to the lounge area you will find comfy seating and TV, the perfect place to relax and watch your favourite movie whilst keeping warm in front on the wood burner on those cooler evenings.

A lovely setting, and a comfortable loft, we also noted that the loft has a lift access, and wet room. Dogs are very well accommodated, and super walks are on the doorstep.

Great location, comfortable living space, great views! We liked what the owners have done, a lovely little farm with comfy accomodation. No complaints. Very dog friendly but not 'doggy' come with or without your furry friends.

I loved everything about this place; the setting is stunning, and full of interest., What I really liked was that it felt like somewhere where the owners were saying this is what you can do as opposed to this is what you cant .
