Overview

Larch Retreat has a double bed, a hand-painted kitchen with a SMEG gas hob and full size Bosch oven, a refrigerator and wifi. The bed folds up revealing a lift up handmade oak dining table with storage cupboards under the upholstered bench seating.

It is insulated with locally sourced sheep’s wool and has heating and a warming towel rail.

This was a lovely peaceful retreat with beautiful views from the window and set into a slightly wooded area that kept it private. Christine was a very nice host who had lots of nice walk and eating recommendations before check-in. I would very much reccomend as a place to stay.
