The location is perfect-close to the A68 with loads of attractions like beaches, castles, waterfallsand forest walks within an hour's drive. The scenic drives are gorgeous and pretty quiet. It's a working farm with lovely horses, sheepand friendly dogs. The hot tub under the stars was a real highlightand the owners were really nice too. We'll definitely return!

Definitely recommended to family!
