We had an amazing stay at the Art House; particularly enjoying the hot tub under the stars and taking in the views while having a luxury bubble bath.

The house provided everything we needed and the welcoming host, Richard, was very knowledgeable of the area and on hand if needed.

The house was fantastic - clean, well presented and in a quiet location, well away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to reach the town if you wished. A brilliant place to unwind and do your own thing. Met the owner who was extremely friendly and very helpful but "not in your face". We stayed for two weeks and it was well worth it.
