We were looking for somewhere secluded and quiet to relax from a hectic work life and this gave us e
Yes it’s remote, but you can see this in the images. The property was perfect for what we needed. The log fire was beautiful and our dog loved it! We had ample space, and able to relax, watch films, and zen! The kitchen could do with a few more pots and pans for cooking. I have recommended this to my family and friends to stay! Lots of lovely locals, offering great recommendations for restaurants and the Three Shires is literally 10 mins walk.
My only gripe would be the parking is limited, so if the host could ask other residents to park considerablylimit one car per accommodation that would help.
