Beautiful rural country views. The perfect location close to many local attractions, beautiful scenery, hillwalking, mountain bike trails and many castles to explore.

The property has its own enclosed private garden and the hot tub is the perfect place to chill out and relax whatever the weather. On a beautiful clear evening, you can gaze up at the stars with little to no light pollution. This is a truly fantastic experience.

Our Pygmy goats, hens, cockerel and ducks are sure to add a little extra to your stay with their quirky little personalities.
