Loved the property and location - the house was well equipped with a great garden and suited our multi generational family perfectly. If you love mountains and scenery and don't mind driving up steep, winding roads and being remote, then this is the perfect holiday location, it was for us.

The cottage is spacious and loads of extra provided by the owners to keep kids busy. View is superb! Make sure you ask for the direction to cottage via plain road and not the steep valley roads which might be scary if you don't have 4X4.

Great for wider family get together. Lots of space inside and in garden. Brilliant views get up early to see sun rise over Sugar Loaf. Easy to get out onto hills to walk straight from front door.

We stayed as a group of 11 (six adults, five children) plus two dogs. The house is in a wonderful location with amazing views and neighbouring sheep. The house is brilliant for groups, there are multiple cosy areas to sit so that you are not all on top of each of other, and the play room was an excellent and very welcome room! Bedding was great andRead more the beds very comfortable. We would highly recommend, and have already talked about visiting again. Hide

Amazing property - couldn't quite believe the size. Plenty of room for our party of 8 and the dog (who loved the outside space). Log burner was an instant hit with us all, especially when the wet weather came in. A fab time was had by all and there have already been discussions about us coming back in the future

What a beautiful place! The location is stunning, and we were able to go on long walks from the house. The approach to the house is VERY steep! but we found that driving the longer route above the house was kinder to our car and easier on our nerves. The house is beautiful, well-equipped, and incredibly peaceful. We would love to holiday here againRead more. Hide

A perfect place for a friends and family gathering in an idyllic location with gorgeous views. Plenty to do nearby but there is a catch as once you are there you hardly want to leave! Kids loved the outdoor play area and trampoline, also what a treat to have their own game room!!! We loved the kitchen which could easily fit 10 people and the littleRead more fireplace with the log of wood was more that we could wish for. The only complaint that we should have stayed for longer Hide

Really lovely place. We only stayed one night and loved that we were surrounded by beautiful countryside to walk our dogs, would have loved to have stayed longer. The house is plenty big enough for 10 adults and the kitchen is a lovely large room for socialising. The owner was helpful and gave us a lot of information. The town is not too far away.
