Absolutely loved our stay! Such a cozy, peaceful spot to unwind, and so close to the mountain for an easy trip to the snow. The homemade crumpets and raspberry jam were honestly to die for – the perfect touch to a perfect getaway. Can’t wait to come back!”

What a beautiful property! even better than the pictures. Lots of outside space for dogs, impeccably clean and host was very friendly. Little added extras were a lovely touch. We would definitely come back here again! We were extremely happy with everything.
