Excellent accommodation. Plenty of space in the rooms. Fully functioning kitchen for self catering. Enjoyed the heated swimming pool, hot tub and games room. Would come back when Covid allows the sauna to open.

Stayed here for a week with four young children, and it was fantastic. It is a lovely tranquil place, with plenty of near by attractions for young children and the family. The owners, Mary and Derek, couldn't be more helpful and welcoming. We are all agreed we shall be back in future. Amazing vacation

Excellent accommodation in converted/copied farm buildings. Well equipped. Hot tub, sauna, games room, heated outdoor pool all on site. Great local walks for as far as you want to go. Outstanding butcher and farm shop/greengrocer about 1 k away. Coastal, market and cultural centres all within easy reach. Pretty close to perfect.

Excellent facilities. Absolutely love it here. Couldn't have wished for a better holiday. The fishing was great. Went in the spa every night and the swimming pool is amazing! Thankyou Mary and Derek. We'll be back again.

We'd booked a couple of the cottages for four nights for ourselves and family. The only negative thing I can say, is that I only got to stay for three nights as we had to leave a day early owing to flight times from Birmingham Airport :-(
The whole complex is amazing. Both cottages were spotless, and very well equipped. Most impressed to find Xmas trees up in each cottage and festive lights all over the place. Actually had to turn the heating down, as we found it too warm. Been in loads of places where you needed thermal underwear. As an antidote to the previous days wedding festivities and all
