We had a wonderful time with the whole family staying at the house. There’s enough room and space for everyone even if you need a bit of quiet time and personal space. It’s located out of town but for us that was a bonus being away from it all. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking.

A little bit of heaven

So peaceful! We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed some great mountain biking. Lots of wildlife and very good wild swimming.

Big house

We had a lovely long weekend break in this beautiful house. The house is warm and comfortable and had everything we could need. The decor is lovely and the big dining table was great for card games as well as dining! The firepit was also a huge hit. So relaxing looking at the great views too. Would love to go back again in future

Great rural getaway for familes / large groups

Big house and garden ideal for our extended family holiday. Comfy beds, large open plan kitchen and cosy lounge. Kids loved the garden and the fire pit. Area is so quiet we barely saw another person or car although red deer come through the garden sometimes! And what a view from the front of the house! Area is great for cycling, Kiroughtree (7stanes) is 1/2 hour drive and Big Water of Fleet viaduct is a nice drive / cycle.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear the house and garden worked so well for your extended family and that the children enjoyed the outdoor space and fire pit. Spotting red deer in the garden must have been a real highlight! We’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another rural getaway in the future.
