    Gorgeous little place in a nice quiet area. Our group came down for a relatively big event about an hour away so it was nice to be able to come back to a cosy, quiet place afterwards :) easy to find and very clear instructions left by the owner...
  • Mary

    Spacious family accomodation with good facilities. Very friendly and helpful owner. Perfect for our needs - extended family in two next-door cottages but enough space for us all to eat together in the bigger one. We hope to stay again.

All benefit from having double glazing and thermostatically controlled electric heating. On site we have a shared outdoor swimming pool (open May - September), a shared games/lounge room, and a coin operated washing machine and tumble drier.
