"From the moment we walked in the door, it felt like home. Everything that had been done to the property was of exceptional taste and quality. Sally and Murray I would describe as superhosts, absolutely nothing was a bother to them. Would recommend anyone looking to stay in a heartbeat and I will certainly be coming back. It was a place that made my heart smile"

My bridal party and I stayed here the night before my wedding and it was just amazing. It is a perfect ‘getting ready’ location for the morning of a wedding, could not recommend it enough! My husband and I then stayed the night of our wedding as it is just a 3min drive away from Cossars Wineshed where we got married. Murray is the lovely host ever, so kind and thoughtful! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Also the beds are so comfy!!

"I booked this place for two nights for bridal party and myself to get ready at for my wedding! Sally right from the start was so sweet, welcoming and caring when she came to greet me in person. During a stressful two days leading up to our wedding, she made me feel so welcomed, and even gave me a hug. Lovely, peaceful surroundings, spacious, great indoor-outdoor flow and the facilities were super clean and adequate for everything we needed. Amazing location! Xx"
