Hot Tub

A great and lovely stay. Great setting and views are beautiful. 4.7/5

It was a great property. Peaceful and quiet location; private location not overlooked in the garden, which was lovely. Enjoyed the outdoors due to afew good days' weather, and the hot-tub was excellent. Beds were very comfortable and nice bedding. Having 2 bathrooms worked very well, as it meant my sister could have her own bathroom, and my husband and I the other one. We would not hesitate in staying again if doing a break like that with my sister with her dog. There were afew issues with water/showers when nearby hot-tubs were being filled-up for the next bookings....but when I contacted the owners, they very quickly sorted that out for us, without any problems. They were very helpful. Things I would recommend to make the comfort factor higher - some cushions for the hard outdoor furniture would have been a nice addition. Also did not find the sofa very comfortable (one of which was a sofabed)...the main sitting cushions kept sliding away. I would also suggest having more wine glasses - there were only 3, and more plates as when these were in the dishwasher, we had nothing to use until the wash was complete. It would have been nice to have a salad bowl/fruit bowl....had to improvise, and afew small dishes for snacks etc. The frying-pans look like they could do with replacing...I had brought one of my own (as I often find this the case in self-catering), so this was ok. Also handy to have one non-stick small saucepan for some things. The saucepans were not non-stick. We managed ok, with what was provided, but just giving feedback on what would make things better/easier. It was a lovely stay, and we found it very peaceful with just the sound of the sheep, and no cars passing by.

Absolutely perfect! 5/5

This place ticked all the boxes, wonderful comfortable living area/kitchen with everything we needed. Bedrooms really comfy too. The outside area with the hot tub is amazing with the most relaxing of views.
