Great stay at Rhumhor house. Excellent location and the house is fantastic, we spent most of our nights with the fire roaring in the big room with pool table and of course....a whisky. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Rhumhor House is a beautiful place, tastefully decorated with lovely fittings, and in an amazing location. There's plenty to do in the area and the owners give lots of ideas for visiting, exploring, eating out, shopping, etc in the welcome pack. We had a memorable family holiday there.

The house is fantastic, as mentioned earlier it is very well equipped and you could see a lot of thought has gone in to the furnishings with a fantastic eye for detail in every room . The kitchen flooring upgrade and the family room oak panelling looks amazing. The location is excellent with the view out of every window being like a picture postcarRead mored. The walking from the house and the activities offered by cove, just up the road, kept us all active throughout our week's holiday. Hide
