Angus and Jane are the most gracious of hosts. They offer their home as your home and the accommodation is really comfortable. The location is simply stunning and so peaceful. The food is lovingly prepared for you by your hosts and it is simply delicious. We have visited Cavens on several occasions. Each time our experience has been excellent.

From the moment we arrived we were extremely well cared for. Food was 1st class and as we were staying for 4 nights I asked if I could have a vegetarian choice which was not a problem and extremely delicious. It was a very relaxing break in beautiful surroundings both indoors and outdoors.

Beautiful surroundings, wonderful hospitality, faultless dinner and breakfast. Pre dinner drinks and post dinner coffee in the elegant sitting room added to a lovely evening. A very stylish stay.
