The property was perfect in every way, very spacious and well equipped with amazing views from the terrace . The property is very rural but not far from attractions and plenty of pubs/restaurants within a 10 minute drive. Jo the host was very welcoming and informative. A bonus was there is an EV charger at the property. We would highly recommend the property.

The Views? Wow

The Property is situated perfectly in the peaks with amazing panoramic views. You are surrounded by peaks, big skies & wildlife as well as the permanent residence on the Farm, horses, sheep (shout out to Jack the Ram, friendliest sheep I have met) & chickens. Inside the cottage is cosy, well equipped & clean. Beds are comfy, 2 bathrooms always a bonus & it's quiet. We are already planning our next trip.
