    Beautiful self-contained, private, and peaceful accommodation in a rural setting. We had our own private outside space with loungers and a bistro set. We were able to walk around the hosts land visiting the sheep and their very friendly dog, Beau....

    A beautiful place up on a hill, you almost feel like in a tree house. Pitch black at night and very quiet. Very cosy and comfortable. Our hosts were very nice and friendly.
