Perfect ski getaway
The property was clean and tidy and perfectly suited our needs for a winter getaway. We arrived to a house warmed by a fire which was most welcome! There is a well appointed kitchen with lots of space for our supplies. The beds were very comfortable and the living area cosy and warm.Communication with the owners was excellent. We will stay again☺️

Home away from home
A comfortable and relaxing house with everything we needed at hand. Our grandson loved the books and toys with plenty of room to run around outside too. Thanks for making us welcome with the extra little touches too. Your garden is lovely and the raspberries were ripe. Yum!

Charming property and wonderful hosts
Richard and Sarah's place is such a charming place to stay in the heart of Mount Somers village. Our hosts were so lovely and let us drop some food off in the fridge early so that it wasn't sitting in the hot car. Their communication was also brilliant throughout. The property itself was really cosy, and had everything we needed. There was a good supply of hot water, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was extremely well provisioned. The washing machine was very handy too. Check-in was seamless and the place was easy to find. Overall I'd thoroughly recommend.

Weekend break
We found this place very clean, tidy and comfortable. We had everything we need, kitchen essentials, linen and towels. Fire was an added bonus as it kept the place and us lovely and warm. Look forward to returning here again for a break away.
