We had a lovely stay here and relaxed which is just what we wanted. The games room was ideal for our teenagers and kept

Pros: Beautiful location with amazing views - peaceful and quiet as remote location

Beautiful house with stunning views

Pros: The property was roomy and clean. The location was fantastic, breathtaking views to be seen. So quiet and peaceful. The nearest town was only about 10 mins away for when you needed some supplies or fancied having a wander around. There is plenty to do within the area also. The host was friendly and extremely accommodating. Thank you

Cons: The only thing would be the WiFi, it didn’t seem to work, had to connect the tv to our phones 4g signal.

Aditya 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Warm, cosy and rustic dwelling nestled in the rolling hills of a private farm land with lovely walks

Pros: The remoteness and tranquility of the location made for excellent walks and experience. Cottage itself was cosy and rustic while having all modern amenities. The views all around were spectacular. We did not see any one during our stay or on our walks.

Cons: We loved our stay. The creaky floorboards and thin walls added to the rustic experience of a cottage in the hills.

Perfect getaway

Pros: We were here towards the end of June as a group of friends, taking a break from work and home. The cottages were very comfortable with lots of comfy seating. The kitchens were very spacious and well ventilated, with a lot of natural light through the windows. Both the kitchens had dishwashers, which was excellent. All the furniture was great without anything getting in the way. The games room is a nice touch and especially useful on rainy days. At the property, there's good 4G coverage from EE, apart from the lower rooms in High Barn. We were able to stream a whole T20 cricket match. There are plenty of bathrooms, which is extremely useful. The tap water was excellent, almost as good as Plymouth, if not better. The host was kind and friendly. Will definitely return, probably in winter, the next time.
