A relaxing, quiet and comfortable home from home.

Pros: Location was stunning, hospitality second to none.

Cons: No lock on the bedroom door or shower room. We didn't like the walkway through our shower room to their laundry room.

Perfectly peaceful surroundings. VERY lovely hosts. AMAZING breakfast!

Pros: The whole place was very peaceful and our room ( The cart lodge) was very comfortable and well equipped. Our hosts were super friendly and welcoming and very generous. Breakfast was amazing! Perfect poached eggs and (according to my husband) the devilled kidneys were to die for!

Cons: the hot water in the cart lodge was very low flow which made washing up and showering slightly difficult but not the end of the world and didn't really detract from the good things!
