Liked Absolutely beautiful - the pictures don't do it justice. We didn't realise until the drive up just how isolated this place is; you truly feel as though you've entered a different world.
We were given a shady and secluded spot - which was cool even at the peak of the heatwave - right next to a bbq and picnic table. The grounds are huge, so even on a peak season Saturday, we had total peace and privacy; we might as well have been the only ones there apart from when we went to the swimming/sauna area.
The main reason we booked was the wild swimming and sauna, and they did not disappoint - the river makes for a wonderful, cool, dip, and the sauna is great once it gets going, with plenty of space.
We also had some lovely dog walks around the grounds, and appreciated how friendly Chaz and Evie were. I can't remember the last time I felt so at relaxed or connected to nature! Thank you!
Disliked No "dislikes" - just two pieces of advice to anyone considering booking:
(1) Take care of any important calls/messages before you start the drive up, as signal is quite poor (my husband had some bars but I had none). That said, there is plenty to do without your phone/internet and it's an amazing digital detox.
(2) The owners' lovely labradors are left to roam the grounds - they are very friendly, but if you have an anxious or tricky dog, just be prepared in case they come padding over.

Liked By the river, very remote, peaceful and quiet, could swim and could have opted to use the sauna. Charles very helpful on arrival as he needed to help remove a fallen tree from the remote access road. I was the only guest with my two dogs which felt very special.
