Branock, Tor Down Quarry Reviews

Just got back from a great week at Tor down quarry. The quarry is amazing we swam every day and went paddle boarding . The jacuzzi was a lovely treat too . The house had every kitchen utensil you could need . We had a few bbqs in and made the most of the lovely setting. It is quite remote but if you make it to the pub , which is about a 25 minute walk , the food is good.
An exceptional property with lots of space and light. Attention to detail by Kirsty is outstanding. This is our 3rd visit to Tor Down Quarry. Love the private hot tub and the 2 lakes for swimming and paddle boarding.
The property was lovely, the jacuzzi was very popular and the quarry was a beautiful place to holiday in and would gladly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of staying there.
We had an amazing time despite weather not been at it's best. Place was lovely and clean and kirsty and John made sure we had very thing we needed . Would recommend and would go again.
