I booked this property after reading great reviews online. I have to say that reviews don’t do it justice as the whole experience exceeded my expectations! Jo and Pete were amazing hosts and their attention to detail was beyond anything I’ve ever seen in the hospitality business!

What a great place. The bedroom and bathroom were superb and we had a stunning view. The room had every possible facility. Jo and Peter made us completely welcome in their glorious Lodge. They were lovely to chat to and gave us loads of local advice and tips. Jo also cooked us the best breakfast. Wish we could have stayed longer -next time!
