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. When you are ready for bed, head to the double bedroom with en-suite wet room or the stylish single bedroom. Completing the accommodation is the contemporary bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

What a fantastic place, beautiful views, friendly owners and well cared for animals. My son had such an amazing holiday he really did not want to leave. My son asked questions and the owners always answered him.
