What a hidden gem. An incredibly cosy traditional farmhouse, with just the most magnificent vista down the valley and into the hills. Kitchen was well equipped. Great for a group getaway, lots of lovely walking and wild swimming near by. Everyone we have met and spoken to, not just our hosts, but the people in town were so friendly. Can't recommendRead more enough. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in the house. It is very spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The location is lovely with great views across the hills, and plenty of nice walks from the door, or within a fairly short drive. The owners were really helpful and we enjoyed learning a bit about the history of the house and the area.
