We had a lovely stay for my wife's birthday. We were met by a friendly host who showed us around, and even a welcome chocolate and card which was very thoughtful. The property and surrounding land was like a little oasis- great to switch off and enjoy nature for a night. We would recommend to anyone. Thanks so much.

Fiddlers Green is in a beautiful, peaceful location near Russell. Set in the garden grounds of the owners house. Adriana and her duck called Daffy were very friendly. The photos of the outside shed- like building don't do justice to the interior which is lovingly furnished with a big very comfy bed and mosquito nets on all windows. The cooking facilities were limited but adequate.
