Really lovely property. Quite unique. Set in a very peaceful area. Beautiful views, walks and local areas. Would be good for a quiet stay but also for those with children as there are 3 play areas that are well equipped. 3 separate ground floor bedrooms, all with en-suites. Well equipped kitchen Lovely real wood fire.

Fab place. Children aged 3, 5 & 7 adored the play spaces and walks in the woods. Went for a walk at dusk and enjoyed all the bats in the forest. Idilic country side with little rabbits in the fields. Loved our time there.

Absolutely beautiful cabin in a stunning area. Couldn't fault it at all. Large living / dining / kitchen space with a wood burner which was lovely in the evening. En-suite bedrooms, beautiful woodland walk and kids zip line and play park. All in all a fab weekend away with the family.

The peace and quiet of this area cannot be underestimated I live in a large city and to have the sounds of nature rather than car horns and noise constantly around you was fantastic. There is no mobile signal which means you are totally switched off. But the house has excellent wifi which means you can still if you want be able to communicate with the outside world its your choice I prefer the quiet option.

Las cabañas de John están en el corazón de un pequeño bosque por el que es muy agradable pasear. La cocina está muy muy bien equipada y la chimenea es una gozada. La comunicación con John ha sigo ágil y muy práctica. Muchas gracias John!
