The Experience

Vast arched windows allow light to pour into the living space, cosy with wooden floors and filled with lovely things from the owners’ travels in Tibet, China and India. Two big sofas, books, games, fluffy blankets and sheepskin rugs will make rainy days feel like a stroke of luck and there’s an Esse wood-burning stove if you want an extra blast of heat.

On fine days you’ll be eating outdoors or simply easing into the hot tub and admiring the views. Mature trees filled with birds and romantic night lighting surround you. A separate utility room houses extra fridge and freezer space and you’re left some Booja-Booja chocolates to top up that holiday feeling.

Many footpaths criss-cross the countryside and you can swim in the loch, or walk up to waterfalls and cascades. Sleep soundly on Simba mattresses under feather and down. Nothing disturbs the peace.

Reviews

A delightfully warm and wonderful place to stay in a fabulous spot overlooking the long valley and surrounded by mature trees hopping with birdlife, including owls to hoot you to sleep. Very special indeed.
