Unfortunately we had an early ferry to catch so weren’t able to enjoy the breakfast but the location was stunning

We’re gutted we couldn’t be there for longer

The cabin/ cottage is gorgeous with grazing sheep in the paddock near by. Beautiful established gardens with lots of bird songs. Hellen and Dave were so welcoming and gracious to us. They allowed our family to use their pool. Beautiful walking areas along the river banks. This is our second visit and we will definitely come back again.

6.0

The property was very clean and well equipped.

The husbands host came across very aggressive and rude regarding having our dog. We were there for a total of 8 hours and had a retriever as the property has pet friendly however they wanted to know about it which we hadn’t been asked and the husband came over to say he wasn’t welcome and “I’m trying hard not to blow up right now” which made us very uncomfortable and ruined the experience.
