Easy check in, beautifully furnished and clean surroundings, generous breakfast provisions. Loved sitting on the verandah taking in the view, and the friendly pats with the cat. Reading in front of the fireplace while it was raining outside was so relaxing, as was the bath. Unfortunately we were without power the next day due to the severe weather, and the driveway was blocked off from fallen trees, however Rebecca was great with communication, and it was impressive to see her and her son work so hard to clear the debris in horrible weather. A wonderful night away - it was my second time visiting and I will definitely be back.

Rebecca & Gavin's place was exceptional & a real credit to them, our room was everything you would want, very comfortable and well set out with an awesome selection for breakfast along with some yummy snacks. We will definitely return one day & will highly recommend Emerald Ridge to all our friends!

The accommodation and location was spectacular. One of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in. The surrounding farm and fields with animals really made you feel in a safe and relaxed country environment which was what we were after.

Everything on offer was perfect. Gorgeous room but felt more like a small luxurious apartment. Had the best energy. Wish I could have stayed in bed longer it was so comfy!
