Debby

Great location in the Dee Valley. Comfortable cottage and nice to have amenities such as the hot tub. We would have liked more instructions for the hot tub and it would be nice to have a better supply of wood for no additional cost. Wood bucket price was very high.

Dainius

So beautiful location, landscape, thanks

Jon

Lovely comfortable cottage in a stunning location above the Dee, two large terraces both with covered areas if required and we loved relaxing in the hot tub then retreating inside to sit by the wood burner. Also a large garden down to the river which was great for the dogs to have a snuffle and imagine it will be glorious in summer.
