Incredible house, beautiful views and pure serenity
amazing Host, so accommodating and even made sure we had extra towels and everything needed for cold water swim. Great recommendations! The house is beautiful and so spacious and the views are incredible. Starts with a beautiful driveway and then you enter heaven. Great outdoor seating available too and lots of adorable little bunnies around the grass. Could not recommend this amazing property more. Already trying to organise a trip back!

The property was amazing, and Stephen was a great host. We stayed here as a group of 9 friends and we had more than enough space. We will definitely be coming back.

We were met on arrival with a fabulous basket full of treats and luxury . Fresh milk and local produce to be found in our fridge.We had a lovely stay at Belmont House. The property is exactly as reflected in the photo's. The location is perfect.There is an amazing bakery near by which produced splendid sausage rolls and other bits and bob's.I would definitely recommend this property and will most likely return at some point in the future.Thank you to our lovely hosts.
