Spacious, well equipped, comfortable and well located. The pool is a big advantage for when the weather is poor and the adults loved the hot tub in the evenings. Helpful, friendly hosts and gorgeous alpacas.

Owners have got it just right for large family groups. The house is spacious, well laid out and has generous facilities. The large and excellent indoor swimming pool is a real bonus. The Alpacas on the surrounding farm are a delight. Location wonderful. Owners are nearby and very welcoming.

Another blissful holiday at High view Farmhouse. It copes easily with 12 people from 3 generations and 3 dogs, with so much space indoors out. Beautiful views, friendly owners and lots of Alpacas to talk to.
