Amazing facilities & host

Wow, the place is amazing, the games room in the cellar was perfect, we had a group of 9 adults, we throughly enjoyed the accommodation, the hosts were super attentive, replied within minutes to any queries. The hot tub was so lovely, such a beautiful setting, lovely views. Would totally recommend. The place was spotless, it was my birthday and they put up a banner and left some chocolate, so thoughtful! Thank you so much!

A very special Birthday

I booked this house to celebrate a big birthday with family and friends - I wasn't disappointed! It was spotlessly clean and the host, Becky, was brilliant - responding to our minimal queries within minutes. The special touches on arrival were well received, the rooms were huge and the beds super comfy - even my worries of wifi in the countryside were unfounded. The games room proved popular and the hot tub was a "wow!" The house is well located for walking across the moors and the neighbouring village has good shops and friendly pubs with good food, which meant my birthday celebrations stretched across all 3 days. I highly recommend this house, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back.
